We asked AI to come up with mascots for Saskatoon's new baseball team. It didn't go well.

Saskatoon's new baseball team recently held an online vote, offering up 10 fan-suggested names, later narrowing the list down to a vote for four finalists. With the team set to reveal its new name any day, we turned to free AI art tools to see what a mascot or a logo might look like for each franchise.
Saskatoon's new WCBL baseball team is getting ready to take the field next summer, but its new name — and whatever mascot it inspires — has yet to be determined.
The team recently held an online vote, offering up 10 fan-suggested names, later narrowing the list down to a vote for four finalists: the Cobra Chickens, the Saskatoon Berries, the River Pirates and the Bridge Pigeons.
With the team set to reveal its new name any day, we turned to free AI art tools to see what a mascot or a logo might look like for each franchise.
Even with our relatively simple prompts, the AI-generated results ooze weirdness.
That being said, we did occasionally indulge in adding a descriptor like “tough” as we felt it would fit a squad looking to carve out a place for itself during its inaugural season.
While the name "Cobra Chickens" is a meme-inspired term to describe the sometimes volatile Canada goose, we turned to the AI art platform Aitubo and asked it to dream up a literal combination of the two animals with a baseball theme.
