The Behind the Scenes Story of the Birth of Gritty

When the Philadelphia Flyers initially introduced their mascot "Gritty" in September of 2018, he wasn't the nearly universally-loved figure that he is today. Far from it, really.
Audacy has been granted access to the creative minds that brought Gritty to life in our new mini-documentary, Gritty Untold: The Making of a Mascot, which answers the following questions.
- What was the "last push" that led to the Flyers creating a mascot?
- How many initial mocks of Gritty were there, and what else could he have looked like?
- Just how different were initial reactions to Gritty from kids as opposed to adults?
- What "turned the tide" on the local and national perceptions of Gritty?

Hey Audacy this is cool. Anywhere you have a home base (KC, Houston, LA, Vegas, etc) you need to do similar stories.
