Tenth place ribbons

Daily writing prompt
If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be?

Since I wouldn’t consider myself a sports person to begin with, this prompt really had the wheels turning in my brain this morning.

I don’t watch any sports, unless hockey is already on tv then I’ll look up from what I’m doing and check it out every so often. You would think that because I was a hockey mom for so many years, I’d be super knowledgeable on all things hockey but truth be told it took me forever just to pick my kid out, from all the others, when he was on the ice.

My favourite sport as a kid and really the only one I played was volleyball. I was okay at it.

Sports I’d like to play now (but don’t, ? new year’s resolution) would include volleyball, but also ping pong and badminton. Maybe also tennis.

What I can never understand is why is there so much fighting in hockey but not in football? What’s the difference? I hate the fighting. It’s so dumb.

Okay back to the prompt, the jerseys would be black, that’s the default colour of my wardrobe.

For something different and to stay true to my roots, how about a cute little cow as the mascot? Horses are used often I think. So why not a cow. They are strong, yet gentle. If I used a Holstein cow then the black colour scheme works because they are the black and white cows.

And yes everybody gets a ribbon for showing up and trying. Even those in tenth place.

  1. The ignorant city boy in me just assumed a cow is a cow. I looked up Holstein cows and learned how wrong I was. I like their color pattern as was surprised how huge they can get. They look like gentle giants.

  2. I am with you when it comes to watching sports. I’d rather do than spectate. Love your mascot choice! 🐮

    1. Thanks Michele! If I ever got my butt out of the house I’d check out this pickle ball phenom!

      1. haha I haven’t tried pickle ball, but it sure is popular! Tennis is fun and hard! I spend more time chasing balls than hitting them. I actually went ice skating last night – a visit to my hometown that has a temporary outdoor ice rink. My neck of the woods barely gets any rain, let alone snow! It was fun. ⛸️🙌🏻

      2. Skating is fun ‘n great exercise! My sisters and I took skateing lessons as kids and we’d practice every week, which all lead up to a year end skating “carnival” where we showcased our talents 🤭

  3. ha! You’re not the only one who has a hard time finding their kid on the ice.
    Every time I go and watch my nephew – I have to get my sister-in-law to remind me which one he is.
