Ten years ago Maine debuted its first NBA G league basketball team.
.

.
And naturally its mascot was a lobster. The lobster art has morphed over the years…
.

.
But it has remained a red cooked lobster. Hence the name… ‘Red Claws’.
Mainers. We’re so clever, it hurts.
.

.
Okay, so sometimes the mascot looks more like a demonic ant….
.

.
A demonic ant on steroids.
.

.
But ya gotta admit, the dude’s got game.
Everything was going well, and in the ten years since it’s inception… the team has won three division titles. But in 2019?
.

.
The Boston Celtics bought our team. And this year?
.

.
They not only renamed our team the Maine Celtics….
.

.
They turned our red lobster green!
The Green Claws?
That’s just wrong. In so many ways.
