The Oakland A's are in the playoffs (they play the Wild Card Game on Wednesday against the New York Yankees), so it has been a great 50th Annivesary Season for the team in Oakland.
One thing the the A's did was have artists render their versions of Stomper Statues and they put them around town. Stomper is the cuddly elephant mascot of A's. The A's put 50 of these statues around Oakland:
You got to love the creative spirit of these artists. Seeing the different Stomper in the Town was cool.
Very cool! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool. I wonder how long these would stay on.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
Fun shots.
ReplyDeleteLove the characters! So fun! Visiting today from Pictorial Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteThey made me smile heheh!
ReplyDeleteHave a stompertastic week :-)
Oh, I love each and every one of those statues! They really made me smile. And, I'll root for just about anyone over the Yankees!!
ReplyDeleteWhat fun statues! No doubt they raised spirits across your town -- and far beyond! Thank you for sharing them.

Great fun - thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteFabulous shots!! I love these sorts of things and was in Bath UK recently where they had Owls all painted up. #mlstl
ReplyDeleteIn Western Australian towns we've had various renditions of cows done like this, but there seems to be all manner of animal statues that get decorated these days. Love your Stomper in all his variations.
ReplyDelete#MLSTL and I've shared this on my SM :)
looks awesome. The A's are my favorite team (when they play against the Yankees and the Sox aren't on ) Good luck tonight, I'll be rooting for you #triumphanttales
ReplyDeletePatrick,
ReplyDeleteI did a quick take on Stomper. At first I thought he was a rat until I read that he's an elephant and that's when I did a double take. How did I see a rat? Oh well...just goes to show the mind can work sometimes...not very well. What a fun collection of the various statues for the A's mascot dotting the city! Thanks for stopping by to visit and link up!
Way cool. We aren't very far apart. I live in the central valley.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. 😎
How fun they did that for all to share in their team spirit. :)

Oh they are fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love the artists' different approaches! #teamlovinlife
ReplyDeleteHow cute are they? I'd do exactly what you've done - and gone looking for each of them #teamlovinlife
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised that you wandered around finding all different kinds of this mascot. What a great promo idea.
ReplyDeleteDo you really think this creature is cute?
ReplyDeleteThose are super cool! The different creative ideas on the elephants is neat to see. My favorite is the fourth one pictured.
ReplyDeleteAww, these look so cool :) Great statues. Thanks for joining us #WordlessWednesdayLinkUp
ReplyDeleteI love those! Everyone had such a different take.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like such a fun place! Thanks for sharing with #TriumphantTales, do come back next week!
ReplyDeleteI have to say I have no idea who Stomper is but who cares when you see him is so many brilliant guises. They do a lot of these sculpture tales in the UK but I have only ever seen one in France, where I live - an equine one for the World Equestration Games. I do wish they would do some more! #citytripping
ReplyDeleteIt's so lovely to have a great local team to support, and what amazing mascots! The photos are wonderful! Thank you for sharing, and for being a part of the Hearth and Soul Link Party. Hope you are having a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteVery cool, I love how each statue differs from one another in such creative styles. #citytripping
ReplyDeleteThey are so creative. Thanks for joining the #DreamTeam
