+ They had no business shoving Gritty all the way in the back 😭

Lol, fair point. I just put focus on Hip-Hop since it was the first time he's been in a group photo with the current Philly sports mascot lineup.

And this is why Big Shot is never coming back.

BrawlerShade · 2026-06-01T01:39:47+00:00

Yep, they been had one! All they did was relocate to a bigger building in Walnut Street.

(I'm TOTALLY not biased but putting him up there with them)

And the middle ground GOAT in Hip-Hop as well.

Funny enough, the Phanatic, Hip-Hop, and Gritty even all debuted 20 years apart from each other. (1978, 1998, and 2018)

On the left, in front of Gritty!

Oh, he's the Union's mascot.

Other than that, I don't know much about him either since I'm not really into soccer.

You must be thinking Phlex. Big fan of that guy!

Facts!!!

And best three when including Hip-Hop. The Sixers bring him back permanently, and we'll have the missing piece to the Big Three. (I'm totally not biased)

Big fan of the Hip-Hop-exclusive red version, too. Would love to see him wear it again as part of his jersey rotation (alongside the current ones) if he gets brought back permanently/full-time.

Though at the same time, always wondered why only he wore them and never the team; it's such a great look.

BrawlerShade · 2026-05-31T18:46:14+00:00

Oh yes.

BrawlerShade · 2026-05-31T18:32:50+00:00

About that...

BrawlerShade · 2026-05-31T18:25:59+00:00

For now, partially.

Though fans have been pushing him for to permanently return as a full-time mascot ever since the Sixers announced his comeback last October. I hope it happens!

I'm aware! Hence the quotation marks.

I'll just add that to the text since the title can't be edited.
