What to put on the sign
“Penalty: too cute, 15 yards. The only way out is HOCO with me.”
One line, big letters. If it needs a second read, cut it down.
The plan
Tie a fishing weight into the corner of a yellow bandana to make a ref penalty flag, then throw it at their feet like an official and call the penalty out loud. The flag has a tag on it with the charge and the only way out of it. It is a bit, so lean all the way into the ref voice.
