The Birmingham Stallions released a video on Twitter unveiling their mascot's look, along with asking its fans what the stallion mascot should be called, before their opening game on Saturday.

The Stallions, based out of Birmingham, Alabama, are one of the eight teams that are a part of the United States Football League (USFL), along with the Houston Gamblers, New Orleans Breakers and Tampa Bay Bandits in the South division, and the Michigan Panthers, New Jersey Generals, Philadelphia Stars and Pittsburgh Maulers in the North division.

The spring football league will run for 12 weeks, from April 16 until the first week of July, with the regular season going for the first 10 weeks and the playoffs during the final two weeks. Every game will be played at either Protective Stadium or Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama, with the exception of the playoffs which will be played at Tom Benson Hall of Fame Stadium in Canton, Ohio due to the 2022 World Games taking place in Birmingham in July.
