The Bakersfield Condors unveiled a new mascot Tuesday that, at first glance, appears to be a superhero with a drop of oil for a head.

Here's the unveiling by Edmonton Oilers' affiliate, who are joining the AHL this season as part of the league's new Pacific Division:

The new mascot hasn't yet been named. Fans are being encouraged to submit ideas on the team's social media platforms with a chance to win tickets and the ability to sit on the bench during warmups on opening night.

“The mascot provides another link between the Oilers, the community of Edmonton, and here in Kern County, (Calif.),” said Condors president Matthew Riley. “There have been tough times in the oil industry lately, and we look to our oil-themed superhero to help save the day!”

The superhero joins Condors mascots Colonel Claw'd and Baby Cal, holdovers from the team's ECHL days.
