Ravens Bring Back Mascots Edgar and Allan to Replace Poe

“The big thing that I want you guys to understand is this is a major commitment on our part as an organization,” DeCosta told Edgar and Allan in his office. “This position is really important, obviously, and we’ve determined that you two guys are really the two best guys for this position.”

Edgar and Allan will be introduced out of the tunnel before Sunday’s home opener against the Miami Dolphins and will still serve the same functions that Poe has over the years, at community events, festivals, parades, birthday parties, weddings, Purple Friday Caravans, and everywhere in between.

“We’re thrilled that we were able to reach Edgar and Allan and convince them to come out of retirement,” said Sr. Vice President of Marketing Brad Downs. “While they were reluctant, they were more than willing to consider a return to the sidelines while their sibling Poe recuperates. We’re excited to have them back and expect them to entertain our fans to the very high standard that Poe set.
