New Britain Bees News Release
(New Britain, Conn.) - A new member of the New Britain Bees and the central Connecticut community was introduced on Saturday at the very successful Opening Day of Ticket Sales at New Britain Stadium. "Sting", the official team mascot of the Atlantic League's New Britain Bees, made his way out of the main entrance of the ballpark just as tickets went on sale to the general public at 10:00 a.m.
The friendly character was developed by Scollon Productions, who created the Denver Broncos and Carolina Panthers mascots that appeared at Super Bowl 50 this past February. Scollon has also created mascots for international brands including Coca Cola, Disney, Turner Broadcasting and more, as well as other collegiate and professional sports franchises.
"We're excited to welcome Sting to the Bees organization," said Bees GM Patrick Day. "After a long search for our first-ever mascot, Sting will be a welcome addition to our roster. We took suggestions from fan feedback as well as direction from Scollon in creating his character. He made an impressive debut earlier today and we look forward to seeing him in action on and off the field this season and beyond."
In addition to being omnipresent at all 70 Bees regular season home games, the first ever mascot in New Britain Bees history plans to spend his time out in the community, at schools, little leagues, visiting sick children in hospitals, and visiting friends in and around the central Connecticut region.
