Nets New Mascot – A SuperHero?
It is known that Sly the Fox will be no longer (like New Jersey) and the Brooklyn Nets will have a new mascot called the Brooklyn Knight.
This has been rumored for quite some time now dating back to the summer and Nets fans will surely get a look at the new mascot soon enough. The Nets marketing team has been spot on with the teams new image so I would think this “superhero” type mascot will be top of the line as well.
Is this what the Nets Mascot will look like? Ideas?

Get ready to meet the Brooklyn Knight, defender and supporter of all things Nets.
Captain Brooklyn or the Brooklyn Decker or Brooky the Bridge apparently didn’t cut it for the Brooklyn Nets’ new mascot which has been developed through the help of the folks at Marvel Comics, industry and team sources said. The new mascot is said to have a knight’s theme and will replace Sly Fox, who like many in the team’s New Jersey fan base will not be making the trek across two rivers to the Barclays Center. It is not known exactly when the Nets will showcase their new mascot.
