The major reason why it sucks to be a female sports fan, is that someone, somewhere out there thought it would be a good idea to start making female sports attire in pink.  Never mind that your team colors are purple and gold, navy and yellow, or black and silver - pink is pretty and girlie and awesome and will make you feel like a pretty pretty princess!!  Perhaps this was started to trick girlfriends into attending games and looking like they support their team, but whatever motivation there was behind this, I hate it.  And not just because I think the color pink is hideous and weak.

In fact, when I think of pink sports gear, I think of Heidi Montag.  And no one, I repeat…no one, wants to be Heidi Montag.  Fashion, put it all on me indeed.

Because I don’t think you can read her hat, I’ll be kind enough to let you know that it says “Dodgers Princess.” Seriously.  I could not make this shit up.

As much as it sucks to be a female fan, it sucks even worse to be a female MINNESOTA TWINS fan.  I don’t know who designs the attire that they sell on MLB.com, but whoever it is needs to go back to fashion school.  Ill fitting polo?  Check.  Ugly pink visor?  Check.  Polyester mock-turtleneck zip up?  Check.

It almost makes me wish I were a fan of another team. Their items are a LOT more fun than the ones that I get to choose from.

Angels fans can get a cute pair of capri sweatpants.		Brewers fans can buy this awesome track jacket to wear to games.
If I didn’t think the White Sox were jerks and wanted a cute fitting v-neck, I could get this.		Cubs fan?  How about this cute female-fitted sweatshirt?
If I were (god forbid…I hesitate to even say this…) a YANKEE fan, I could get a fashionable tank top with some sequins on it.		If I had joined the Mets bandwagon last year like some of my friends, I could get this BIKINI to show my team loyalty!

I think you get the point. I love my team, I really do, but honestly…what am I supposed to do with THIS?

I’ve never taken a fashion class in my life, but I could design stuff better than this.  To me, this is stupid, because I’m pretty sure guys are cool with buying a t-shirt of their favorite player and calling it a day.  Girls care more about what they look like - especially single girls attending a game that’s sure to be filled with eligible bachelors.  Or single girls in love with Joe Mauer.

Someone fix this for me, please.
