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

I would start a soccer team called the “Knights of Ni” in honor of Monty Python’s classic comedy, “The Search for the Holy Grail”. The colors would be black and gray, preferably chain mail with a metal helmet made by an actual blacksmith for authenticity. 

When the match would begin, they could take off the armor and have normal-ish soccer uniforms grey and black. The logo would be a herring crossing a shrubbery as a coat of arms with a small white rabbit in the background. All the players name would be “Ni” on the back of their jerseys. 

If the players do not like a call by the referee they will shout “Ni” at them to voice their displeasure. During halftime, herrings would be launched into the crowd using slingshots. At the conclusion of the game, a shrubbery would be offered to the team by the coaching staff to coax the players off the field.

If you have not seen Monty Python, “The Search for the Holy Grail” it is available on Netflix and Prime Video. It is easily in my Top five movies of all time. Check out these hilarious shirts based on this famous scene!
