Gritty is the official mascot for the Philadelphia Flyers of the National Hockey League (NHL).[1] He is a 7-foot tall (2.1 m) furry orange creature with googly eyes who wears Flyers gear.[2][3] Gritty has been compared to the Phillie Phanatic, the mascot for the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team.[4] He was created by Brian Allen of Flyland Designs with help from David Raymond, the first man to portray the Phillie Phanatic.[5]

Gritty was introduced on September 24, 2018.[1] According to his official biography, Gritty emerged after construction at the Wells Fargo Center, the Flyers' home arena, disturbed his secret hideout.[6] Within the months following his debut, Gritty became an internet sensation and made appearances on several talk shows.[7]
