Pumpkins.
Carving them has turned into a tradition, especially around this time of year it seems. Sometimes people carve faces, sometimes people carve sports logos. Logos can be tricky to carve into a pumpkin — it requires patience, a stencil (quite easily attainable via a Google search, for example: here’s a collection of Cleveland Cavaliers stencils), and some fine carving tools. Patience and a steady hand are certainly the most important.
I asked our fans and followers to send in some of their sports-themed pumpkin carvings, I also took a look around Twitter to see what else was out there… take a look:

Well done all, I tried this once – carved a retro Blue Jays logo six years ago and nope, it was a mess, I seem to recall one comment reading “no offence, but what is it supposed to be?”… doesn’t matter, it’s a sad face now.
Happy Hallowe’en everyone, and kids… don’t tune into the Horror-thon later tonight, but if you must you definitely shouldn’t wear your special masks while it’s on. Pro tip.
