The story of how Gritty came to be:
they need the revenue to replace what they are losing, due to poor attendance at home games."Despite the incredible success, the Flyers do have one regret: Because they didn’t land on a final design until so close to the season, Tilger said, it didn’t leave the team enough time to produce Gritty merchandise. With lead times of 90 to 120 days, Gritty merch won’t ramp up until a couple months into the season—a bobblehead is coming in 2019 (Heller said the process of designing a bobblehead accurately was like 'building the suit all over again')."

Oh I talked to the manager of the fan zone or whatever at the stadium. She claims plush gritty should be in either just before or just after Christmas. She then proceeded to curse the marketing department for only giving them two weeks notice.
This also explains why the t shirts all have the owl looking gritty design on them.
Gritty is 2 thousand followers away from being the most followed mascot on twitter. Just an utterly brilliant marketing job by this organization.
Who is the most?... I thought Gritty took over long ago. I have noticed though that he has less followers than he had a while back, IIRC.
I see that the Phillies Phanatic has come back on Twitter yesterday.
brutus the ohio state buckeye mascot who has been on twitter since 2009 to give y0u any idea of how quickly Gritty has risen in popularity. He became the most followed nhl mascot in 48 hours i believe, and the most followed professional sports mascot within a month.
