Puzzle Description:

The original mascot for the Austin Wranglers was named Blaze, who was a horse, and in 2005 he was joined by a cowboy - Red Eye (whose eyes glowed red). Due to the expansion team in Utah, the Blaze, the Austin Wranglers changed the name of their mascot to avoid confusion, so the new mascot is now wilder than before and goes by the name Trigger.

I had created this one for last week's WC, but didn't publish it because it was not a logo of "my favorite team" and I felt it would be cheating to use it to enter the contest. It is in fact the logo of a team that no longer exists. I just really liked the logo and knew it would make a good puzzle. So here it is. I solved it myself, so I know how difficult it is. You will need to use some edge logic and will have to look carefully for line logic clues in the lower left.

Here is the image:

Nice image, but I already miss your B/W puzzles. :-)

I wish you had entered it...

LOL, Adam - spoken like a true PBN aficionado. Notice I did not say addict - we are not addicts, cuz we can stop any time we want, right?

Thanks, Deana. I got 3rd place with my other logo of my real favorite team. It didn't hurt that there were only 3 entries (I think). :)

When the fans yelled, "Go Wranglers!" I guess they meant it.

That is such a weird coincidence. I go to the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and our mascot is also a dragon named Blaze. Ours is green, though, and I doubt I'll be making a puzzle of him. I liked this one, and there was some interesting color logic needed. Very nice.

very fun solve!

Very nice! I know nothing of sports and thought it was a dragon almost to the end. Quite a fun solve; not hard, but requiring a lot of attention.

Not to be confused with the UAB Blazers, who have a dragon mascot. :) (University of Alabama at Birmingham)
