Redskins Hoodie from Palace Five
This sweatshirt brings only the fondest memories to mind. My friends and I were already set on going to watch the Redskins play against the Cowboys and then one of our parents had gotten an e-mail from the American Red Cross saying that they were looking for blood donors and were giving away Redskins tickets in return! This was perfect! I have always hated shots but I knew that I had to do this for my home team. While donating blood, I passed out, I guess that had freaked myself out too much. But an old Redskins player was there with me when I woke up! It was amazing. Because I didn't spend any money on a ticket, I decided that I had to get some team gear. I walked to the Nike store one morning and bought awesome Redskins workout capris but the logo was on the band of the pants so I knew that I had to get a top in order to show real support. I was growing frustrated in the Nike store because I didn't see anything that I liked. I walked home a little bummed out. I didn't have time to order anything because I hate paying for shipping and I would have definitely needed to expedite any order that I made. The night before the day of the big game my brother and I were throwing out the trash and the weather was lovely. We decided to go on a short walk. We stopped by Palace Five, a store my brother frequently visits, and low and behold they had really unique Redskins gear! I was so ecstatic, no one would have the same sweatshirt as me. Small, cool stores like that make me super happy and the fact that most are located in my neighborhood make me even happier.
