I seem to recall the Bisons doing something similar with their mascot Buster about 20-25 years ago. Yep. Buster, who's an absolute badass, and his cousin Chip. But Chip was never Buster. He was always the "cute" counterpart to the cool Buster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Beebe Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Thanks for this post. I have been feeling a down lately and the comments on this really got me laughing. The best one was, Looks like a cow had sex with a bear. That was great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Chip first showed up, Buster suddenly disappeared, and none of us in our section heard how or why, or who exactly the new mascot was supposed to be. Some of Pete Weber's on air comments led me to think they had 'softened' Buster's image, and this new mascot was Buster, part deux. A couple of weeks later the 'old' Buster was back (the costume was probably out at the cleaners), the new guy was Chip. I have never heard an 'officially sanctioned explanation' of the multiple mascots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1st Ammendment NoMas Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 Well he still looks tougher than Ducasse. Overall, a horrid video and terrible new look for Billy. I guess they want to make him more family friendly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know from reading the back of Chip's baseball card (that came with the team set I bought every year) that he's Buster's younger cousin.

MJS Posted August 28, 2018 Share Posted August 28, 2018 I suppose they are trying to make him less scary and more lovable for the little kids. I'll be honest, I couldn't care less about the mascot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He immediately gave the new look a big thumbs down, saying, "Now Billy looks too happy. We made the playoffs but didn't win enough to be happy, yet." Love this thought process. The new mascot is fat and happy over squeaking into a playoff loss???? ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is more kid friendly than Billy #1 who looked like he tried to stop a truck going 60 with his face. Also no more purple is good I think. However. ? He either underwent a sex change or is straight out a new person. I surmise this is actually a female. Billy's wife.....Billie Buffalo.
