Eli got his football jersey tonight. He is number 44 on the Wildcats. He was very excited and as he came off the field from practice he was grinning ear to ear. His first game is a week from Saturday (12th). Once we got into the car, Eli started telling us about the new fantastical uniforms that all of the teams will be wearing.
The Wildcats will have a small mane coming off their helmets but there won't be a tail. The Rams are their partner team but older kids and they will have round ram horns coming off of their helmets and shoes. The Rhinos (which are not a real team) will have a small horn protruding from their helmet and black under their eyes. I zoned out as he went through about thirty teams complete with made up names. I focused my attention again when he started describing how the uniforms would light up as they run and the shoes would light up also...I guess kind of like football meets Tron. (I hope he really isn't expecting these things to happen...but then again, if Nike gets a hold of the little league uniforms, anything is possible!)
