Character Origin Notes
Iceburgh Pittsburgh Penguins Iceburgh is the official mascot of the Pittsburgh Penguins. He debuted for the 1991–92 NHL season. Iceburgh was known as "Icey" in the 1995 film Sudden Death starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, filmed at the Pittsburgh Civic Arena. In the movie, the Iceburgh costume was worn by Faith Minton. The name Iceburgh is a play on the words "iceberg" and Pittsburgh. He usually wears a Penguins jersey with the number "00". The costume is almost identical to that of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins' team mascot, "Tux." The only difference being that Iceburgh has an orange neck, and Tux's neck is red. Tux also wears red gloves and Iceburgh wears black. Tux wears number "99" on his back with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins logo on the front of his jersey.
Tux Linux He is the mascot of the Linux kernel and appears in many other Linux programs, usually in different styles. He has also appeared in his own video games, such as Tux Racer, Extreme Tux Racer, Tux Math Scrabble, TuxWordSmith, Tux Math, SuperTux, SuperTuxKart, and Tux Paint. Tux has also appeared in other video games, including OpenArena, Pingus, FreedroidRPG, Team Fortress 2, FreeCiv and many others. In some video games featuring Tux, he has a female counterpart named Penny or Gown. Other female counterparts of Tux include Trixi (Tux 2) and Tuxette, which is the female leader name of the Antarctic civilization in FreeCiv (the male leader name being Tux). Tux also had appearances in other media too, such as appearing in a Froot Loops commercial as a squeaky toy, having an uncredited use in a YouTube video by Toutsmith called Al Gore's Penguin Army, and appearing in various merchandise, such as having his own October Toys Gwin toy and appearing on a WMF Sealion fork.
