Brains trust: for Reasons, my wife occasionally needs to wear a sports jersey as part of her work at a primary school ("wear your favourite team's jersey instead of school uniform if you donate to a fund raising effort" activities).

Neither of us are really sports people, but we *are* readers, so she has historically worn the jersey of a ... notable fictional magical broomstick-based sports team. But she would like to avoid supporting that particular franchise.

Any suggestions for a. Current front runner is a "Brakebills University Welters Team” jumper (from The Magicians) - but (a) it's not likely to be licensed content, and (b)... she teaches primary school, and might have to explain it 😆

Suggestions for a fictional sports team from she could support? Bonus points if it's YA *and* has official merch.

@freakboy3742 @glyph I couldn't find any official ones, but maybe jerseys from the one Owl House episode taking the piss out of the other series? Bonus, it's YA and very queer.
@xgranade TIL... hadn’t even heard of the series... but now I'm intrigued.
@freakboy3742 It's very good! Got canceled way too early due to Disney not liking that it had queer characters, but what we got to see of it was amazing.
@freakboy3742 @xgranade It's pretty great. It does have a satisfying ending even with being cut short -- they were allowed to do some wrap-up, at least.

@freakboy3742 @xgranade it's brilliant! I've watched it end-to-end at least three times and I never tire of it.

Also, I've heard that the creator openly advocates for pirating the series 'cause Disney screwed her so hard.

My high school and uni aged kids are fans… the 22 yr old’s most treasured Xmas gift was a pair of Owl House socks 🤷‍♂️

Apparently (I’m told) the Grudgby team at Hexside School of Magic and Demonics are called the Banshees. You can definitely get tshirt merch, but I’m not so sure about a jersey.

@xgranade @freakboy3742 @glyph lol I never clocked that Grudgby was a parody of the other series, but that makes sense 😆
