By Mark Fagan, 3:39PM, Thu. Apr. 5, 2007
Following the hoisting of the MLS Championship Cup in their first year in Houston after relocating from San Jose, Calif., the Houston Dynamo finally made the announcement we here at the Score had been not-so-patiently waiting for, the unveiling of their mascot. How they managed to come out on top of the MLS without a mascot is mystery of grand proportions. But the wait is finally over, and the winner is – drum roll, please – the irascible Dynamo Diesel. The winning design was selected among several submitted by students at the Art Institute of Houston. The contest-winning designers Eric Hulsey and Leslie Lopez will receive a $500 scholarship from the Dynamo as part of their prize package, not to mention the lifelong satisfaction of having created a mascot destined to spread joy and excitement to the children of Houston for years to come.
