“Gritizens” Philly I know you've all been waiting. When the Philadelphia Flyers Gritty was born I wasn’t sure what to think. It was new, weird, orange.. This past year Gritty has grown on me. From the Gritty security team, to the Gritty pop culture mini clips to the joy I see on so many fans faces it was only a matter of time until I was inspired to create this. One month later it is complete.
