It may be "just a mascot", but it's got fans of the Canadian Football League's Saskatchewan Roughriders in a tizzy. For a long, long time, "Gainer the Gopher" has been the team mascot, and fans love him
So, a lot of of Green and White supporters are wondering why officials in whatever department looks after it changed it's look
I think people are having a hard time getting used to the new head Gainer, or whoever is wearing the costume, is sporting. The eyes, I think, are a big issue in why so many fans don't like it. In fact, a lot of people are calling for "old" Gainer's return to the sidelines for home games.
The whole thing has exploded on the social media I monitor in Saskatchewan, and it almost make me wonder if this is like the "new Coke" fiasco back in the 80's, where enough people were upset with the new formula to force Coca Cola to bring back the original, which I've come to suspect may have been a clever marketing plan, and may be the case here.
Still, it could be worse. We could've had something similar to the Philadelphia Flyers "Gritty"
