Why the Madison soccer (football) team of course! For a joke snowdrift deep in irony, our professional soccer team Forward Madison has a pink flamingo as its mascot. “The world’s second favorite team” has inspired loyalty since their start date in May 2018 and a rosy throng of yard decorations has sprung up all over town.

Fan flock now, masked and social distancing:
Our team hopes to resume matches in June. Fingers crossed and a flamingo in the yard. Croquet anyone?
