Go Big….PINK?
To me, it just doesn’t seem fitting for a Peyton Manning jersey to be pink. Perhaps it’s because the last time I checked, the Indianapolis Colts were blue and white. Maybe it’s because I just can’t see Peyton Manning prancing around in a pink jersey. Maybe it’s because football just isn’t a girlie sport.
What’s up with all this pink sports fan apparel for women?
Maybe I’m not like other women. Maybe there are women out there who want to root for their favorite team but don’t really want to wear that team’s colors in order to do so. Maybe they’d rather dress like a five year-old girl. I don’t know.
What I do know is that this past spring when we made the terribly long drive to Washington, D.C. to see the Nats play the Braves, I wanted something to wear to show my support of the team. We got to the field early and headed into the fan shop to pick up a few souvenirs and a baseball cap for me. I saw lots of hats that I liked, but they were all men’s hats. I have a small head, I guess (don’t go there!), and the smallest men’s hat is too big. Unfortunately, the only women’s hats they had looked like this:
To me, that defeated the purpose of paying upwards of $20 to show my support of the team. I mean, why can’t they make women’s hats in the team colors? Am I the only woman out there who actually wants to wear the team colors? Surely every woman in America does not want to wear pastel pink or powder blue to support her favorite team.
What did I do? I bought an adjustable men’s cap and tightened it to fit my head. It didn’t fit quite right. It actually puckered a bit in the back. But it wasn’t pink!
I’m headed down to the University of Tennessee later on today and I plan on picking up something new to wear while I’m there. You can bet your last dollar that whatever I buy, it won’t be pink.
Don’t get me wrong, I like pink. I just don’t like it in place of team colors, that’s all.
So, what’s your opinion? Do you like the pink sports apparel? Would you rather see more feminine apparel in the actual team colors, like me? Or do you not give a crap less? I’d love to know what you think.

Ok, I’ve read the blog about the pink team apparel… I love the pink!!! Of course, I’m the girl that stops at every harley shop looking for the pink apparel, my riding coat is black and pink, etc. I just like things that were originially made with more masculine colors to be made for us girls…in pink. I’m by no means a girlie girl….maybe that’s why I like the pink…maybe it makes me feel more like one…
Let’s play soccer some time.
Opps.. maybe not because we are too distant away lol.
