Toronto Tempo Mascots: Love Them or Hate Them | Edmonton News
Description
Toronto’s new WNBA team, the Tempo, just unveiled their mascots—Dez the turtle and Dot the arctic hare—with quirky backstories and a Canadian twist, but fans are split: some love the tortoise-and-hare charm, others think they’re bland or even creepy compared to the Raptors’ dinosaur. Critics question why not go with a beaver or raccoon for true Canadian spirit, while defenders say the duo’s vibe is endearing. Meanwhile, the team’s struggling on the court—10 wins, 25 losses, eliminated from playoffs—and maybe these mascots are meant to bring some luck.
