Ecotouchdownmaginationarium

I did something terribly, terribly archaic.

At work, we had a fundraiser called “Play United” where a $15 donation would allow you to participate in a variety of sports that day. (I “participated” in the 5k and got to the 2nd round of cornhole, but that’s a moot point unrelated to the content of this post.)

Some of the Edison boys decided to make a football team called “Ecotouchdownmaginationarium” and then my coworker and I decided to make them jerseys.

We ironed on their names and glued felt numbers to the back of the jerseys (black undershirts), and glued felt footballs to the front. Here is a workspace originally meant for book-writing, but totally taken over by jersey-making.

The beginning of the felt footballs.

Amazing! Felt footballs! They look just like the real thing.

The boys practiced before their big game.

But futilely. They lost anyway.

The team.

The shirts looked pretty sweet. Number 5 looks pretty dejected in this picture, probably because they just lost :( and I was forcing them to take pictures.

Oh hey, is that a ND fan with his shoelaces untied? (I can’t help myself.)

Ecotouchdownmaginationarium looked good on the field, but only because they had awesome jerseys. They totally appreciated the effort and continuously thanked us (not).
