The AFBL's North Carolina franchise has narrowed down its candidates for a mascot to two choices, each of which represent famous (or infamous) characters in the state's rich history.
The first of the two finalists pay homage to Orville and Wilbur Wright, the aviation pioneers who first flew their plane in December of 1903 in Kitty Hawk, NC... North Carolina Aviators
The second finalist is inspired by Edward Teach, AKA "Blackbeard", who often came ashore along the coast of North Carolina, and was eventually killed at Ocracoke, NC... North Carolina Pirates
