Brooklyn Nets - Mascot

Mascot

The mascot of the New Jersey Nets was Sly the Silver Fox, who debuted on October 31, 1997 as part of the rebranding of the Nets for the 1997–98 season. Prior to that, the Nets' mascot was an anthropomorphic dragon named Duncan.

The Nets introduced a new super hero mascot for their move to Brooklyn named BrooklyKnight (a play on the demonym Brooklynite) on November 3, 2012 - he was lowered from the ceiling of the Barclays Center amid sparks and fanfare and introduced by the announcer: "Here to defend Brooklyn, he's the BrooklyKnight". The mascot was co-created by Marvel Entertainment. A 32-page comic book titled BrooklyKnight #1, written by Jason Aaron and drawn by Mike Deodato Jr., was released by Marvel to commemorate the unveiling of the mascot.
