Vice City's answer to the Dolphins

Spotted in trailer

Eagle-eyed fans spotted a Manatees jersey in Trailer 2, the kit of Leonida's fictional pro football side. The aqua colourway and Florida setting make the target obvious: it is Vice City's version of the Miami Dolphins, with a manatee - Florida's gentle 'sea cow' - swapped in for the dolphin. It continues Rockstar's long habit of building parody sports franchises rather than licensing real ones.

Has Rockstar confirmed this easter egg?

No. The find sits in official material (Trailer 2) and was written up by TechWiser; Rockstar does not comment on easter eggs, so this entry describes the footage and nothing more.
