Kanye West Begs Clippers Owner Steve Ballmer to Redesign Mascot

Rapper and fashion designer Kanye West asked Clippers owner Steve Ballmer if he could redesign the team's mascot.

LOS ANGELES – Kanye West is at it again.

The rapper, fashion designer, and husband of Kim Kardashian took to Twitter on Sunday afternoon during the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Clippers game at Staples Center.

"Steve Ballmer can I please redesign the Clippers mascot" West wrote on Twitter during the game.

West is referring to the Clippers new mascot, Chuck the Condor that was introduced two weeks ago during a Clippers home game. According to the team, Chuck, is a California Condor "who personifies the passion and 'be relentless' drive of team owner Steve Ballmer."

Chuck wears a No. 213 (the Los Angeles area code) Clippers jersey, a cape, red Chuck Taylor high tops and a helmet complete with the California state flag on it.

We're not sure how the rapper and fashion designer plans on "redesigning" Chuck, but Mr. Ballmer, if you're reading this, let him do it! The publicity alone would be amazing.

West has been busy this year with the launch of his new album, The Life of Pablo, and his newest fashion line "Yeezy 3," but we will be waiting with bated breath for him to redesign Chuck.
