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.

@mariatta I am now thinking about truly cursed version number schemes like `horse.worm.casimir` for the release made on the Feast of St Casimir during the month of the Worm Moon in the Year of the Horse…
I am NOT writing the PEP for this.

If you want to feel good about the world for 90 minutes - the Student Showcase from @pyconau is nothing but good feels. These are *high school students* presenting their projects. And they aren't doing fizzbuzz and Fibonacci sequences. http://youtu.be/Z60fVOQJzpc
