New Trail Blazers Mascot Douglas Fur: A Giant Leap for Bigfoot Fans?

Portlanders React to the Blazers' New Bigfoot Mascot If you're a fan of the Portland Trail Blazers, you might have noticed a new face on the team. The Blazers recently unveiled their new mascot, Douglas Fur, a 7-foot-tall Bigfoot wearing a plaid shirt and beanie. The reaction from fans at the game was mostly positive, but social media had mixed feelings about the new addition to the team. Douglas Fur is described as a shy lover of the outdoors who enjoys local parks and the Oregon Zoo. The Blazers say he keeps his beautiful mane and hair maintained with a lotion, spray, or oil, but the specific product remains a mystery. The new mascot has sparked some interesting conversations among Bigfoot believers. Some fans are excited about the Pacific Northwest mystique and aura that Douglas Fur brings to the team, while others are skeptical about the idea of a mascot that could potentially scare children. The Blazers already have a mascot, Blaze the Trail Cat, who will continue to be a part of the team. According to Todd Bosma, the director of game operations and events for the Blazers, having two mascots allows them to work different sides of the arena and interact with fans on a more personal level. Some fans have compared Douglas Fur to the former Seattle SuperSonics mascot, who was also a Sasquatch. The Blazers' first mascot was also a Bigfoot, who, according to fans, disappeared. Love it or hate it, Douglas Fur is definitely a talker. Some fans think he's a great addition to the organization, while others think he's just a gimmick. But one thing's for sure, he's got people talking. If you're interested in learning more about Douglas Fur, be sure to check out the video from KGW News.
