With fall finally here, so is the long-awaited (at least for me) return of the football season. And with it I can feel my alter ego defrosting. My team always has been, and will always be, the Seattle Seahawks. My loyalty dates back to the good old days of leaving a bowl of Skittles on the table for Marshawn Lynch, like cookies for Santa, and cheering atop my dad’s shoulders as a little girl. Now the time to don my Seahawks swag and cozy up on the couch to watch the guys take the field is back.
With the football season also comes the revival of B.C.’s pride and joy, the Vancouver Canucks. (And yes, I write this to you while watching a Canucks game.) Maybe I cheer for these teams because they’re what I grew up with, maybe I like rooting for underdogs, or maybe I’m just drawn to a certain colour scheme. Both the NFL and the NHL are back in full swing, and with them come the cherished team colours.
‘Tis the season of green and blue.
