| @nomuny12: It's actually a dog. It's taken from "Dawg Pound", a section of the bleachers in the stadium, originally a nickname one of the cornerbacks gave to his defensive line, calling them "dawgs". See here for more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawg_Pound. The A's logo of an elephant is from the New York Giants manager calling them a "White Elephant", which they embraced and now use an elephant as a mascot, thus the alternate logo. |
