Overview

  • John Oliver unveiled Fuzz E. Mammoth on June 29, marking the Erie SeaWolves’ new electric purple mascot on Last Week Tonight.
  • The identity pays tribute to George Moon’s 1991 Lake Pleasant woolly mammoth discovery, one of the most complete specimens from the Great Lakes region.
  • Fans can pre-order Moon Mammoths apparel, including replica jerseys, hoodies and hats, on the SeaWolves’ official website.
  • The SeaWolves will play four home games as the Moon Mammoths at UPMC Park between July 19 and Sept. 13.
  • Team executives say the celebrity-backed rebrand is designed to boost Erie’s visibility and merchandise revenue in one of Minor League Baseball’s smallest markets.
