So now that we know what Gritty doesn't want, what does he want? That question may be tougher to answer, but we are going to try it anyway.
Here are a few suggestions:
Clothes
Who couldn't use a new sweater now and again? And after Gritty
famously streaked at the 2019 Stadium Series
, sending him a few extra outfits could never be seen as a bad thing. He also
needs suit pants
, clearly.
But what size to get? We are not sure but we imagine it will be from the Big & Tall shop.
Running Sneakers
The
Gritty 'anti-runners' 5K is coming October 13
and Gritty has said he will do whatever it takes to win it. So a new pair of boats couldn't hurt his chances.
More Silly String
You know, for the next time the
Los Angeles Kings broadcast crew
is in town.
Something Cookie Monster-related
OK, so this gift should only be bought if you want to troll or tweak the big orange furball a little bit. He'll get the joke since he
saw and responded to the viral video
of a two-year-old Flyers fan calling him "Cookie Monster."
Luggage
For Gritty's
next vacation
.
A Tribute Tattoo
This one may seem a little outlandish, but it's been done before, most
famously by Jimmy Lardani, the operator of a Philadelphia-area bar
, who inked Gritty on his calf and may have very well started a trend.
A Claude Giroux Jersey
Just
because
.
Happy birthday, large orange friend.
