NY
New York is home to the Yankees and Mets baseball teams.
"Met" is short for 'metropolitan," meaning big city. Calling the team "The New York Metropolitans," and should be avoided in the company of Mets fans.
NY Flag

New York is home to many sports franchises. A suggestion for a state mascot: a baseball-loving canine wearing a power tie. Note that the mascot's neck-tie covers all of New York City and Long Island. Wall Street is in Manhattan, a business section of the city where neck-ties abound. Many of these business types have homes on long island. An especially posh section is "The Hamptons".
This dog has a wet nose. Yeah it's because he's a dog, but also because the top of his nose is in Lake Ontario and the bottom part is in Lake Erie.
