Loge Level

According to the BBC, heavy band Motorhead is sponsoring a under-10 boys soccer team, providing the boys with “internationally renowned band’s name on their shirts along with the band’s motif - a skull named Snaggletooth.” Here in the New World, we get bent out of shape over Indian Feathers, and these kids get to have a skull on the front of their shirts.

The boys run onto the pitch with Motorhead’s “Ace of Spades” playing, in honor of their sponsor. If it was an under-10 girls team, I’m sure the band would prefer using “Jailbait“.

Honestly, I like hearing stories like this where a famous band gives back in some local unique way. But Motorhead shouldn’t rest on their laurels yet. Sponsoring a team is one thing; running a whole football league for your son is another.
