The Golden State Valkyries have unveiled a new mascot. The awaited moment had been teased all through the past week, when a large purple egg appeared on the outside of Chase Center in San Francisco.

Five days after a purple egg appeared outside Chase Center, Monday night's hatching revealed Violet the raven as the Valkyries' mascot. Violet's unveiling was part of a "Bird Watchers Night" promotion, in which fans peered through team-provided binoculars to watch Violet's introduction.
