The Golden State Valkyries, a WNBA team, officially introduced their first mascot, Violet the Raven, during a halftime show at the Chase Center on August 11, 2025. Violet emerged in a dramatic reveal by hatching from a large purple and gold-speckled egg that had appeared earlier in Thrive City at the Chase Center. The unveiling took place during a game against the Connecticut Sun. Violet, described as a purple raven with a tie to Norse mythology, is now the team's official mascot and a prominent figure in Ballhalla, the Valkyries' home arena. The introduction was accompanied by a video presentation and has been widely covered by sports media outlets.
