First introduced three years ago, Big Cats were orange clown glasses with black stripes. The second year, laminated lenses with tigers - but you could not see thru them. The third year, computer generated decals and painted-on player names and slogans. Although the design constantly evolved, the slogan - "Rock the Big Cats" - resonated and still remains.
This year an oversized sunglasses mirror hangs nearby for fans to check themselves out wearing or "rocking" the new Big Cats! A fun and creative souvenir!
