It can also be one that is inspired by your FAVORITE Football Team's COLORS.  Like the Green Bay Packer's Colors, that are Green & Yellow.
So there are many, many possibilities here.  
Here's what Stacy said about this challenge:
***This House Mouse and Friends Blog Challenge 96 is brought to you by ME. Of the 5 people who read my blog (ha ha) you know that I am a huge football fan! The football season is one of the funnest in our house with all our teams we each love. So when my turn came up for a challenge it was no doubt going to be something football related in honor of the Green Bay Packers winning this years Super Bowl. My team is the Colts as you know, however my good friend America here is a huge Chicago Bears fan. So this challenge was a little inspired to razz her in the loss they took against the Green Bay Packers one of the twins favorite team. You know I love ya girlie!
The challenge is Football Frenzy... something football or super bowl inspired. Use a team's colors, the field or players. Have fun with it!
