Matt "Cat Enthusiast" Wiggins Memorial Stadium has an official mascot... Whether or not Night Watch chooses to acknowledge it. Y'all came through and sent in amazing options, but after much deliberation, we were able to narrow it down to our honorable mentions, and our one winner!

You know that friend who's like, so cool, and so stylish, and so goshdarn nice that you can't help but check your hair every time you know they're coming over? Fangamer is that friend. Their site is filled with cool ideas and stylish designs from your favorite franchises; it's the kind of stuff where even people who don't know the reference will give you The Nod and say "cool shirt."
Case in point: look at the cool shirt they designed for this year's Desert Bus for Hope! Wasn't that so goshdarn nice of them? This mouth-watering red T-shirt design makes us feel like the cherry on top of the sundae, and we're so happy to have Fangamer as a friend (and sponsor!) who makes us feel and look this good.
