For a future Gauntlet City Limits game offering, I’m considering a sports-related RPG (not sure which one, quite yet). Since this would be set in Gauntlet City, I need a “mascot” for Gauntlet City (like the Atlanta Hawks, or the Los Angeles Dodgers, what have you).

Gauntleteers, hit me with some mascot suggestions! I’ll pick my favorite handful and post up a poll!

  1. There’s more than one?! O.o (EDIT: Sports related RPGs, I mean)

    The “smooth-chested werewolves” isn’t a real mascot, is it?

    😛

  3. What about the Gauntlet City Gorillas?

    (Part of me wants to suggest the Gauntlet City Chinchillas, mostly because I have a friend who keeps telling me I should name my next chinchilla ‘Mitten’ since that’s about what one would make.) 🙂

  17. They use gauntlets in falconry, so how about The Falcons? Cuz the gauntlet holds the falcons.

    Can you imagine how great it’d sound if Lowell Francis were the announcer? “Introducing the starting lineup for the Gauntlet City Falcons…”

  29. I concede that the best for inside jokes would be Orks and Werewolves. I could see the Orks being a hockey, soccer, or lacrosse team. Werewolves would work better as a baseball, football, or basketball team. The Werewolves would be even funnier if only the team’s offense or defense was any good.

    Gorgons works for the women’s teams, since the mythological gorgon were all women.

  37. Robert Nolan Gauntlet City (and the surrounding area) could easily have 0~2 major-league team, 1~4 minor league teams, and 3~5 high schools. That’s plenty of mascots to go around.

  39. There might also be a NCAA team or two. GCU is Division I, isn’t it? And I thought GCCC (Gauntlet City Community College, not to be confused with Gauntlet City Curling Club) has a sports program.

  43. Gauntlet city Damnably Destructive, Deliciously Devious, Dark Devils. Recently they have abbreviated their name to the D6 because the name and physical mascot seemed to have racist implications.

  45. My proposal is we pick some names we like across a broad spectrum. Then we pull one at random when need one, that’ll ensure a horrid mish-mash of names. Just like the real world!

    My home city:

    Shorebirds – minor league baseball

    Seagulls – College

    (Lady) Rams – High School

    Clippers – High School

    ??? – High School (nobody likes them)

  47. Oh if you want to use terrible real world examples for opponents: In Portland we have the Gresham High School Gophers. Go Team!

    There would be something amazing about the Gauntlet High Gophers.

  57. Five more that came to mind:

    The Gauntlet City Deep Ones, and the mascot is a giant tentacle.

    The Gauntlet City Pastafarians, and the mascot can be either the Flying Spaghetti Monster (with or without a cap) or a pirate.

    The Gauntlet City Wookiees.

    The Gauntlet City Frogs, with Dr. Tom as the mascot.

    And finally, the Gauntlet City Killer Robots … because … killer robots!

  65. Richard Rogers, I hope none of those come across as insults or ribbing. That wasn’t my intention. (I’m just not totally sure what you mean by deep cuts, so I wanted to clarify and offer apologies).

  89. I like that, River. In addition, on the Arithmetics opening day, the first 1,000 fans through the gate get a Plussie plushy. In fact, Plussie Plushy Day is positively a fan favorate!
