Well, we had an event going on at my job, where there were teams, and would be rated, scored or whatever on our performance as a team. Some how, we became Badgers and our colors were green and brown. Being that I was the most crafty one on our team, I was basically in charge of coming up with team logo stuff and the spirit stick was one of them. Make a long story short, I made the red and white for my favorite college football team Alabama Crimson tide. The brown was made from a wooden dowel, but the red one was from an old metal tube from a shower curtain, which I added rocks in it to get a rattle when I shake it. Go Bama!!
