Gritty's tattoo mishap continues to make waves on social media.
As the NHL season draws nearer and training camp is set to open in September within the next few weeks, NHL teams and their general managers are gearing up for the upcoming wave of fan entertainment and the pursuit of victory in as many games as possible.
Naturally, maintaining a high level of entertainment value is paramount, as fans are willing to pay top dollar to witness their favourite players and teams vie for success. All NHL teams boast mascots that traverse the NHL rinks, engaging the crowd and orchestrating fun activities on the ice and around the stands to enhance the entertainment.
One particular mascot under scrutiny is Gritty, the orange, big-eyed monster representing the Philadelphia Flyers. His life's journey is documented on Twitter, and a few days ago, a notion arose that he should acquire a chest tattoo. However, a recent series of tweets revealed an unfortunate typo, transforming "Gritty" into "Girthy."

The error chronicled on Twitter has sparked a minor backlash from other fans and individuals who observe and eagerly await the mascot's escapades. This incident, shared on Twitter, has elicited conversations and speculation about the wisdom of the stunt. It remains to be seen whether Gritty will retain the tattoo on his stomach.
The introduction of Gritty to the Flyers' fan base occurred on September 24, 2018. Standing 7 feet tall with a muppet-like appearance and monstrous eyes, Gritty took many fans by surprise with his unexpected and unconventional design. Over time, he has evolved into the emblem of the Flyers, consistently delivering Twitter antics for several years.
