I don’t care…

Ugh…

I told myself I wouldn’t skip any of these things but the last few have really tested my resolve. I could give a flying fuck at a rolling donut about colors and mascots. 

I’ll try, I guess… but the sarcasm will be strong with this one. The utter disdain and complete ambivalence too.

Colors… for a sports team… As a citizen of the United States of America I am (probably) legally required to suggest some combination of red, white, and blue. As a citizen of greater Boston, Massachusetts we can add black, gold, and green… and I guess silver(?) to the list. 

If I had to choose though I would go with black and white so that the teams would always look like they are living in old newspaper photographs. Yeah, that’s what I’ll do. Either that or blue… and red… or whatever.

The mascot would be a lot easier to choose. It would be a nerd. The Boston Nerds. Yes. The Boston Nerds in their black and white uniforms. Epic. The logo would be a geeky looking person with thick glasses and bad acne. There would probably be some tape holding the glasses together too. Yeah, that would do it. The nerd would be smiling like a total dork. If The Boston Nerds are a hockey team then he/she would be missing some teeth too. 

How’s that work for you all? Just think of the advanced statistical analysis The Boston Nerds would beat your dumb jock teams with. Wins Above Replacement for the Win!
