Can anyone tell me exactly what the characters are supposed to be in the animated commercial where Planter’s Peanuts is announcing that you can win a trip to the NCAA finals?
What I can divine is only bits and pieces. One character is a turtle–I do seem to have heard of the Shellbacks. What school are they from? Then there’s another animal with an ‘M’ on his chest, must be Michigan. But it sure doesn’t look like a Wolverine. Then there’s a third creature with ‘KU’ on his chest, I have no idea what he is or where he comes from.
Lastly there’s a globular character who looks like a giant basketball. Seton Hall? Where they don’t have a mascot?
Who are these strange characters, these bizarre homunculi
Wow. You got em’ all wrong. The turtle is the University of Maryland’s Terripin. The ball is Syracuse (NY) University’s “Orangeman”, Orangemen/women being the nicknames for its athletics teams. KU is Kansas University’s Jayhawk. The M isn’t Michigan. I can’t remember what it is, even though I recognized all the teams in the commercial last night.
