What to put on the sign

Every good team needs a number one. HOCO?

One line, big letters. If it needs a second read, cut it down.

The plan

Order a blank jersey in their team colors and iron on lettering so the back reads HOCO where a last name goes, with the hoco date as the number. Wear it to their game or practice and turn around once they clock you. The ask lives on your back, so you never have to say it out loud, they just read it.
