Cherriots wants your help naming a character that will be featured in an upcoming video from the transit service.

In a YouTube video posted Tuesday, an orange hand puppet said it snuck into Cherriots to visit its friends, which look like characters from Monsters Inc.

“I’ll be starring in an upcoming Cherriots video, but I’m so blue I don’t have a name. Can you pick a name for me and leave it in the comments below?” the creature asks.

There were no comments leaving name suggestions as of 9 a.m. Tuesday.

The puppet looks a bit like Gritty, the official mascot for the National Hockey League Team the Philadelphia Flyers.
