# Something to Shout About

A caricatured Native American figure in war paint and braids, labelled 'Redskins', whoops while carrying a large sack marked 'That Line' and clutching arrows and strips of cloth labelled 'Baugh's Passing', 'Farkas' Runs' and 'Moore's Receiving', with two football panels at the right. The technique tell is identity-fusion, a weak fit: the team's identity is merged into a single costumed mascot figure whose gear stands for individual players' skills.
