Wear your favorite NFL team's colors... unless you're a girl
Come Super Bowl time
tomorrow, everyone will be wearing the colors of their favorite NFL team, and roughly half the nation will be sporting
#7 in honor of the Steelers' standout Ben Roethlisberger. Black and gold all the way baby!
Unless, that is, you're a girl. In which case, you'll be, confusingly, wearing pink? And white? Just who are you supporting by wearing a pink Roethlisberger jersey? Is it the Steelers? Or the abhorrent societal construct that says, you can be a football fan, sweetie, but only if you're wearing pink?
Via Eden, who is "interested to hear what BB editors and readers think of separate but semi-equal treatment when it comes to kids official NFL gear." It makes me all uncomfortable and shivery under my Seahawks jersey. How 'bout you?

Michelle said...I think that it is kinda cool to give the girls a chance to wear something a little more girly if that is what they choose. If that is what they want to wear let them if not I suppose that they can go out and get a small boys size that will fit. I for one know that my daughter would love to wear one of those. And me pearsonally....I look AWFUL in dark colors and really good in light ones, so I dont really see the problem with giving people a choice no body said that girls have to wear it, it is simply giving them a choice.

Anyway...they've been marketing these pink Colts items around here for ADULTS. Yep...in the ladies section you'll find pink Colts sweatshirts and hats, etc. I don't get it!

nancy said...I hated seeing all the pink this year, but even more so because my parent's gave me a pink Eagles hat (hometown team) last year. Five dollars from each hat bought during October--Breast Cancer Awareness Month--go to support the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania. So if you do some looking maybe it is not all about being girly. http://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/fanzone/commRelationsDetail.jsp?id=16252
