Just in case I'm not the only guy that didn't know

I was at the grocery store today and saw a guy wearing a shirt with a big W on the front. This was in Portland and seeing this isn't common so I said "Go Washington" as we passed in the isle.

Now the shirt was a shade of blue that could pass for purplish-blue in certain light so I didn't realize my error until the guy said "This is for Winnipeg".

I responded "Oh I thought it was a Husky shirt".

He said "Fuck no" and laughed.

I think it was an honest mistake... their colors remind me of Washington's colors during the Slick Rick years.

Cool story, I know.

I am pretty sure our colors predate the WeeniePeg franchise.

Maybe they used some of our old hand me downs when they joined the Canadian semi pro league.

Okay. I googled it. UW was using purple and gold (later morphed to navy) in the 1920s. Winnepeg played its first game in the 1930s.

Makes sense. Dwag sense.
 
I was getting off a plane last year and wearing one of my Huskie color black hoodies with the gold W. Guy said go Deacons.
 
This is a very funny post for me. I see gold Ws regularly and they are almost always for the war criminals in Manitoba. UW must have the worst brand of any sports team I've ever followed I had this old guy come up to me last weekend asking if my hat (just a simple W on purple) was for "Western University in Ontario"???

I'm in Canada but only a little over 100k ( 65m?) from the stadium. I can't believe Karen Ramming did this to me.

I prefer that to ours, frankly
 
Some color blind people like me can’t tell the difference between the good old days’ UW purple and navy.

I liked it that way.
 
You should have punched in his stupid Canadian face.

The only appropriate response. From the wording of the post, it sounds like he meekly folded instead of telling this wayward canuck to fuck off and that no one gives a shit about his fucktarded CFL team that probably will no longer exist as a franchise in ten years. Some aggressive barking and chest beating would have been called for as well.

@HairyBallsDawg - if you're not willing to obnoxiously channel this place in your every day life, at the expense of any remaining personal dignity, then I think you should LEAVE.

While I'm sure your fantasy probably seems great from the likes of a keyboard warrior such as yourself -- I probably should have mentioned that this guy didn't look at all like a fan and looked very much like a former player. A large one... maybe DL or OL.

OK - so maybe punching in his face would have been a bad idea.

Maybe smash him in the back of his head with a can of baked beans or grapefruit juice after he turned his back?

I'm just spitballing now.
