Its googly eyes have smaller irises and pupils, giving the appearance of being bulged out of their sockets and a constant expression of surprise or excitement, complimented by a smiling, open mouth. Gritty is attired in an orange Flyers home jersey, numbered 00, with black pants, helmet, and skates.
