Pretty interesting piece of Lakers history, apparently after the team first moved to LA they briefly used a giraffe in the team logo

I love giraffes! Bring it back, damnit!!!

Although... Kobe trying to dunk on someone while wearing a cartoon giraffe isn't exactly the definition of Intimidating...

But on the other hand.. Kobe is so bad ass that he makes cartoon giraffes look intimidating!

Then again... I don't know if he'd be able to talk trash while wearing that..

Kobe: You can't guard me. I wish you would try to stop me! I wish you would! Try me! Try guarding me you soft...

Defender: Shut up Kobe! You have a f**king giraffe on your chest.

Bring back the giraffe. We can even get some money from Toys R Us.

That Giraffe looks stoned.

Looks cool though. Lakers fans on the reddit NBA page use that as their "flair".

Too bad the giraffe can't replace Jim Buss.

That is just goofy enough to be kind of awesome.

wouldn't mind having a giraffe mascot running around in an old school uniform.

Let's have a guy fishing in a lake be our mascot. That's the closet thing to a "Laker" I can think of.
