Things Got Weird at the 1995 Pro Bowl
By Jamie Mottram | February 8, 2009
You may not know this, or care one bit, but the Pro Bowl is today. The only reason I’m aware of it are Clinton Portis’ exploits. Well, that and the Skins emailing me about Pro Bowl jerseys (only $99.99!).
MJD has also made a series of posts on Shutdown Corner, including his plan for improving the exhibition and a look back at the bizarre mascots from the ‘95 Pro Bowl. The latter is of special interest here, where months ago we shared a forgotten Skins mascot of unknown origin. We’d never seen it, nor had any of our readers, our friends at the Washington Post or those at Redskins Park.
Turns out that the mascot, which MJD calls “Dances With Stereotypes”, was but one of many strange creations specially made to confuse delight fans in attendance at the NFL’s all-star game 14 years ago. The others seem less offensive, but probably stranger still, especially the Browns mascot, which resembles Snuffleupagus, and is totally awesome.
Click through to see the whole gang, and do enjoy this year’s Pro Bowl, unless you bought one of those jerseys. Then I’ve got nothing for you.
