DAVE THE ANIMAL TAKES SELF-LOVE TO A NEW LEVEL


By R.E. Porter, Associated Web Press

Not to be outdone by the Midtown Mojo, the Cambridge Animals have announced they are introducing their own new logo, and in the process, have trumped the Mojo, and even the Cleveland Browns, when it comes to self-love.

Like the Browns, who were named after team owner Paul Brown by Brown himself, the Animals were named after owner Dave the Animal, by the Animal himself. Then after buying the Franktown Silverbacks franchise prior to the 2007 season and moving it to Midtown, owner Mojo D followed the lead of those two franchises and renamed the team the Mojos after himself.

Now Dave the Animal has gone the Browns and the Mojos one better — he has made his own likeness the team's new logo.

Undoubtedly, some will call the move egomaniacal, but Dave the Animal said unabashedly, "I love it." The Animals will be sporting the new logo on their uniforms and helmets during the 2008 season. Animals merch sporting the new logo soon will be available in the NFFA Shop.
