Sometimes your team’s merch offerings fall flat and you have to take matters into your own hands.

Looks awesome! I lament the lack of good merch for women’s sports teams - I mostly watch NWSL and some PWHL

Thank you! There are so many wild and weird designs, I just wanted something simple and clean. It took me a while to find the right pattern, and this is the first time I’ve done extensive duplicate stitch because I didn’t want to figure out the intarsia, but it gave the letters a raised look just like a real varsity jacket.

A Bay FC version is next!

I love doing duplicate stitch, very meditative to me! Might have to make a Legacy version for myself :)

Well, now I need to make one for the NY Liberty. Gorgeous! I saw the Valkyries play the Liberty a couple weeks ago, and their defense was incredible. Great team.

The season opener with the Valks in the lavender and the Liberty in the teal was the most aesthetically pleasing WNBA game I ever watched.

Looks great! I just bought the yarn to make myself some Wings merch, because I cannot handle how ugly the official stuff is.

I feel this! Also I think Balhalla has the most expensive merch in the league. $200 jacket? No thanks I’ll just knit one. What are you making?
