All of these images are city scapes of an American city with a clip art on top that represents the mascot of one of three sports leagues (NFL, NBA, and MLB) from a different city. The cities are ordered by league and then alphabetized within each league. Each sports teams' city (or state in the case of the Vikings and the Rangers) is represented elsewhere in the puzzle.

Separating by league and ordering by connecting each team to its correct city gives three distinct loops. Reading the correct letter out of each team mascot around the loops gives three words: MASCOT WASHBURN UNIVERSITY (in given order by league). Washburn University's mascot is the answer to this puzzle: ICHABOD
