Gritty caught wind of your 70th and immediately lost what was left of his mind at the Wells Fargo Center, begging you to choose the ice.
Swoop saw Gritty's video and refused to let an orange dust mop have the final say...
Swoop took the turf under the stadium lights to deliver a stern, no-nonsense argument explaining why South Philly football is the only proper 70th celebration.
Naturally, putting them in the same room to talk it out went downhill fast...
Both mascots stood toe-to-toe making their pitches directly to you, until the inevitable Philadelphia turf brawl broke out.
When talking failed, Swoop resorted to tactical South Philly traps...
Gritty wandered over Pattison Avenue onto football territory and walked right into Swoop's cartoon cage trap.
Gritty didn't take that sitting down. Revenge was served cold on the ice...
Payback on Broad Street. Swoop lost his footing on the ice and ended up trapped behind the goal line.
Which brings us to the final showdown...
One last faceoff between Philadelphia royalty before you make your final call.
