The many faces of Broadcat
Our beloved mascot, Broadcat, didn’t start out as the wonderful version we see today.
In fact, Broadcat used to be this blob thing:
Broadcat was the first contestant on Extreme Makeover: Mascot Edition.
What most people don’t know, however, is that Broadcat continues to evolve, and to this day, has a whole collection of alter egos. Much like Sasha Fierce or Fledge Mulholland, they make an appearance when the situation calls for a little bit of something, shall we say, interesting.
