Oh great. Our very own Mr. Met.

I hope Slamson rips his head off and dunks it.

 

[SacTownKid]

Horrifying. Don't mind it actually lol.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Oh great. Our very own Mr. Met.

Does that mean you guys get a Mrs. Met Roy Alison?

 

[funkykingston]

No.

Just no.

 

[whitechocolate]

Does it come with cheese?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Does it come with cheese?

 

[Tetsujin]

Feels like Roy Al is just one viral moment from being this year's beam

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

... Or this year's Pierre.

smoothie king mascot would like a word

 

[PorchSurfin]

That thing is hideous.

 

[The_Jamal]

Slamson got fired?

Tough economy

 

[iowamcnabb]

Looks like a plush basketball version of an actor I can’t place

 

[macadocious]

That thing is hideous.

This is an Onion article, right. Right?

 

[Insomniacal Fan]

The character seems intentionally off-putting. Guess we're going to have a heel mascot storyline

 

[coolhandluke]

To coincide with the new City Edition threads, the franchise also announced a new mascot, Roy Al. The mascot will appear during all City Edition home games, teaming up with Slamson to pump up fans and get into hilarious hijinks.

Phew... disaster is limited to few games then.

The jerseys could be mistaken for a Pistons or Sixers jersey.

 

[dude12]

Terrible

 

[chief bromden]

Looks like the perfect scapegoat if things go wrong for the Kings in any of the games Roy Al is at. I'm in!

Can I get mine with cheese?

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Can I get mine with cheese?

Steve Martin was a prop comic! (shout out to the LeBatard show)

Seeing as the reaction from the fans, the media, and the players all seems to be on the same page...I've added a poll!

 

[hrdboild]

Am I the only one who read the mascot name in the headline as Roy A.I. instead of Roy Al (bert) and assumed this must be a parody news story from The Onion?

 

[LPKingsFan]

Oh great. Our very own Mr. Met.

I hope Slamson rips his head off and dunks it.

Fit to be dunked through Rupe the Hoop

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Wait, did Rupe the Hoop resemble an actual hoop? Did I memory-hole that?

It seems very old school

Imagine if the Kings had won on Friday; we might never be rid of that thing.
