AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The present invention is a team sport rivalry outfit that includes a fan team side and a rival team side. The two sides are removably affixed to each other using removable fasteners. A team fan or rival identifier is affixed to an appropriate side. The outfit can have two fan team sides or be configured as a shirt, pants, hat, or skirt. The identifier can be removably affixed to either the fan team side or the rival team side. The technical effect is that the outfit allows fans and rivals to easily identify their respective teams and have a more comfortable and customizable sports experience.

Problems solved by technology

There currently is no way to wear a single apparel item that shows both support for a fan's favorite team, and simultaneously disparages the rival team.
Some fans will mix fan support apparel to show rivalries, which results in a confusing mix of attire.
Some clever fans make their own rivalry / support shirts using paint on plain white t-shirts, but for each rivalry, this requires industrious fans to create many different shirts, a tedious and expensive activity in which the majority of fans are not willing to engage.
