Athletic Supporters

I am not a sports fan at ALL. I went to an event here and there but never got into being a "fan" and NEVER a fanatic. I can also say that I would never intentionally buy any sports team apparel. If you go to any major sporting event you can easily point out who is rooting for who in the seats by what they are wearing.

Over the past 10 years (at least) sports teams have been trying to get more female fans by creating more figure friendly clothing; tank tops with glittering rhinestones, baby doll tees and yoga pants with team logos.

Despite these progressive fashion thinkers in the sports industry you cannot get me to wear a team's piece of clothing.


Tonight, the New Orleans Saints won the playoff game against the Detroit Lions. The Saints bring lots of joy to a city still suffering from disasters over the years. I know plenty of people in the city who may not watch a game or be able to follow along but nonetheless are Who Dats and don't need to be dressed head to toe in black and gold attire to show their support.

I have found lots of artisans on Etsy making wonderful pieces of black and gold to show love and support of the New Orleans Saints. Here are a few examples:



Here is a treasury of black and gold items I put together
