DownTown (formerly DownTown Yorkie) is the official mascot of the York Revolution, who play in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball. He is a furry, blue creature with white eyes, a green beak, ears, and hands, and yellow hair. DownTown wears a Revolution home jersey, white socks with red and blue stripes, a backwards Revolution cap, and blue and white sneakers. He debuted on June 15, 2007 at Sovereign Bank Stadium in York, Pennsylvania. DownTown provides Revolution fans with entertainment during games and continues to make public appearances around the city of York and the surrounding county. His name is synonymous with the location of Sovereign Bank Stadium: downtown York. DownTown's name is also a reference to his corporate sponsor: Downtown Inc., which hopes the name will speak of the team's goal to rejuvenate downtown York. The Atlantic League of Professional Baseball has promoted urban renewal in cities like the Newark, New Jersey and Camden, New Jersey.[1] He was designed by the Raymond Entertainment Group of Newark, Delaware, of whom also produce the primary costume of the Phillie Phanatic and of Cylo, the mascot of the nearby Lancaster Barnstormers.
