Earlier this month, the Clippers revealed its new mascot.
The Los Angeles Clippers hatched a new mascot Monday, and the reception to “Chuck the Condor” couldn’t have been much worse if they had just trotted out a caricature version of Michael Olowokandi. A Los Angeles Times headline read, “The Clippers’ championship drive just got hijacked by a stupid bird.” (ESPN)
