The Strange Looks Begin: Day 16

Well the Colts are now 2-0 after a nail biting win over Tennessee last weekend. I must say, I pray a lot, but this game, I prayed for a miracle to stop Tennessee at the end of the game. Looks like the big guy came through again. Of course, does He really care about the Colts? I think He cares about what we care about. But let's not turn this post into some sort of theology lesson.

I have been wearing this jersey now for 16 days straight. It's actually been really great! Get up, shower, put on the jersey, go to work. Never thought I would like wearing a uniform to work, but it isn't too bad. It has become apparent, however, that places I frequent are beginning to get this look on their faces like, "didn't he wear that 2 days ago," or "hasn't he worn that a lot the past few weeks?" Well, the answer, of course, is "YES". But that's the real fun behind this Jersey Challenge. I get to make people think twice when they see me and I get to tell them all about why I haven't changed my shirt in more than 2 weeks. As long as the Indianapolis Colts win, I get to continue telling people all about it.

Now, we are just a few days away from launching the full version of JerseyChallenge.com. which will feature a Flickr group specifically focused on gathering your photos of you prancing around in a Colts jersey, tailgating, watching the games, or just plain being crazy about the Colts. You can visit our Flickr Group and begin uploading your photos to it. Every photo you upload to our group will show up on JerseyChallenge.com. The site will also begin taking your donation to the PeyBack foundation. We are going to try to raise $25,000 by the end of the season, regardless if the Colts continue on undefeated or not. We think we can raise more than that, but we have to start somewhere. We will begin taking donations starting at $1 and going up from there. Donate whatever your heart desires. After you have donated, we will list your name among all of the other supporters on our site. You're making a commitment and we feel you should be honored for that.

We have also received our first sponsor for our site. DesignedWritePR (317-736-6885) has joined as one of our $1000 sponsors and will be featured on the site. They will also be helping us write and distribute our press releases so we can get more people involved and hopefully more sponsors on board. So, if you are a business and want to get behind something good, or just want to get some publicity, check out our sponsor page to find out the different levels and how you can become one of our sponsors. All sponsor money goes to help us promote this challenge in any way possible so we can get more donors and reach our $25,000 goal, or more.

We'll let you know as soon as our site is officially launched. We hope you can join JerseyChallenge.com. We look forward to it.
