Yorka and Ms. Yorka IRL

A First for Cricket in America
As Major League Cricket expanded its reach in the U.S., the Seattle Orcas looked to create a deeper connection with fans—and they turned to Skylark to make it happen. The mission: bring to life the league’s first full-fledged mascots. Enter Yorka and Ms. Yorka.

Mascot Magic, Pacific Northwest Style
Skylark led project management for the mascot launch, guiding the process from concept to debut. From screening and selecting vendor partners to shaping the final look and feel, Skylark ensured the mascots captured the quirky, community-driven energy of the Orcas brand.

Making a Splash with Fans The result was historic: Yorka and Ms. Yorka became the first official mascots in Major League Cricket—and the first ever for a U.S. cricket team. Whether high-fiving kids at matches or dancing on the dugouts, they created a fun, memorable experience that deepened fan engagement and gave the Orcas another voice in the crowd.
