If you didn’t know today is Purple Friday in all of Maryland. The Raven’s will be playing the New England Patriots in Foxborough this weekend and everybody in Maryland is excited. They have painted Ravens heads all over town, our local library and grocery store are even sporting them. The grocery stores have gone so crazy they even installed one of those humongous blowup football players normally used as lawn displays, right on top of their salad bar.
The schools encourage the children to wear their purple (Raven colors are purple, black and gold) to school and you can see the staff durning drop off all decked out in their Ravens finest.
Today Matthew wore his Ray Rice shirt to school. I was hoping to have him wear a long sleeved shirt underneath, but no way. “Mom, I want to be like all my friends. They don’t wear shirts underneath.” Fine. Although I’m not quite sure I believe him. But what the heck, if he is aware and interested in what his friends think, I’m all for it.
So are you wearing your Raven’s Purple today?
Stay Well.
Unfortunately, I'm not a Ravens fan. I grew up in New England, but I'm also not a Patriots fan haha! Since neither of my teams are playing, I'll root for the Ravens because I like purple and despise the Patriots!
For me, the only football I watch is the Superbowl!
It must be so fun seeing everyone in purple! Everyone around here dresses in orange and black- it's like Halloween all over again (GO BENGALS!). LOL!
