Me Start a Sports Team?

If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be?

Many said when my family got large that I was trying to start a football team. Those who know me know I have no interest in football (or sports, for that matter). If I were to start a sports team, the colors would be blue and white and the mascot would be a cross.

Blue and white are my favorite colors, but why a cross for a mascot? Aren’t mascots supposed to be people dressed up like chickens or tigers? Maybe not! For me, the cross is a symbol. It symbolizes the death that brought me life – the death of the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the Reason I live!

I couldn’t make a cross look good on a jersey until it was white. It’s not about the aesthetic but about the principle. Plus, this is my blog prompt, and I can write it as I please. These are honest thoughts from a pastor, right?

    Hmmmm… follow my thoughts here. A cross, particularly a cross emblazoned on a shield, would inspire people, definitely. You could even make the actual mascot a paladin, a knight sworn to the Lord, a powerful force for Good. I imagine the roar of the crowd as the paladin mascot gallops into the field, mounted on a white steed, blue and white trappings flowing. Very inspiring!

      Same! I would much rather be reading or playing the piano than watching or playing any sport.

    For the mascot I’m wondering the sentinels, the shepherds or the Guardian s
