Lasso AFC Richmond Gradarius Firmus Victoria Comedy TV Football Motto Adults Hoodie

Product Information

As it is written, the motto seems not to make sense: if we assume that all words are nominative, the meaning becomes something like ‘A strong guide is (equals) victory’, a plausible, and indeed the only possible grammatical, meaning but not a particularly emphatic meaning, even if it does dovetail with the point of the show (reading gradarius as a noun eliminates the incongruity of two masculine adjectives agreeing with a feminine noun). With victoria as ablative: ‘A strong guide (wins / leads) by means of victory’ or ‘because of victory’? Not sure exactly what that means. The strongest meaning is ‘A strong hand / coach guides us to victory’; that has the strength of other Latin mottoes that I assume the show is trying to invoke. But that’s not what the Latin says. While the second image above seems less forced (a formal looking banner around the stadium vs. a souvenir shop with the Latin motto as its banner) than the first, nonetheless the motto’s inclusion in both of these scenes suggests its importance to the show. There are plenty of scenes that don’t include the motto where it could be included, which suggests that it is consciously being included where deemed necessary and / or appropriate; someone is choosing to include the motto in at least certain scenes vs. others. The reconciliation of the BELIEVE poster is about giving people a second chance—but before we can bring ourselves together in the most meaningful way possible, we must first start with ourselves. Once we build belief in ourselves, we can come together with others believing in the hope that people and circumstances CAN get better—together. Everyone Owns a Mac: This being an Apple TV+ show, all the characters are regularly seen typing away on Macs and using iPhones, often with the logo visible. Bait-and-Switch: In Season 2, the show leads us to believe that Rebecca is flirting with Ted on Bantr, but the ending of "The Signal" reveals that it's actually Sam.

Unseen Pen Pal: In Season 2, Keeley encourages the unattached members of Richmond's team and management staff to join Bantr, a dating app based solely on anonymous text-based communication. While Rebecca initially scoffs at the idea and is having a fling with someone in real life, she develops a bond with user LDN152 note A nod to Joe Fox's screen name NY152 in You've Got Mail, who turns out to be Sam Obisanya, a star player and her employee who is nearly 30 years younger than her (but still above legal age). When the two decide to meet in person and realize the truth, Rebecca initially shuts it down due to their professional relationship, but the two find their chemistry too intense to ignore. She later breaks it off because she realizes she is not ready to get hurt again after her messy divorce. Victoria introduces additional ambiguity: that -a ending can be either the nominative or the ablative (and I would not expect the show to include a macron to distinguish the two). My assumption is that victoria is (supposed to be) the predicate, that victoria completes the meaning of whatever gradarius firmus means. An ablative victoria, however, which the -a ending suggests, would have to mean ‘by means of victory’ or, perhaps, ‘because of victory’. An easier meaning for victoria would be ‘to victory’, that whatever gradarius firmus means is completed by ‘to victory’, but ‘to victory’ would require a different ending for victoria, the dative victoriae.

Ted: Be honest with me. It's a prank, right? The tea? Like when us tourist folks aren't around, y'all know this tastes like garbage. That’s a reference to the revered writing book, Bird by Bird. In it, Lamott describes her brother when they were younger, having put off a months-long project about birds until the night before. As he sat there, overwhelmed by the bird information spread out in front of him, their father told him, “Bird by bird, buddy. Just take it bird by bird.” One of the first things Ted says to the team as a coach is a literary reference: “We’re gonna call this drill ‘ The Exorcist,’’cause it’s all about controlling possession.” The team is not amused, but this is a good introduction of Ted’s coaching style: funny, irreverent, but practical beneath it. Children as Pawns: Although Rebecca deeply wanted to be a mother, Rupert always claimed he didn't want children and so they didn't have any. Soon after their divorce, he gets his new girlfriend pregnant and gloats that he just didn't want to have children with her. Later, he takes his baby daughter to Rebecca's father's funeral knowing it will upset her.

If you follow the “Richmond Way” , it’s not about being #1; it’s about Leslie’s definition of how we can continue to move toward better. It’s anyone guess what happens from here with Tartt, but the rest of the side was clearly invigorated by his departure. With the January transfer window ahead, there may actually be a reason for optimism. Hell, I might even write a real piece about it. Separated by a Common Language: Ted repeatedly struggles with the differences between US and UK English, with Coach Beard helpfully providing translations such as: coach/manager, practice/training, cleat/boot, trunk/boot, etc. Arc Villain: Rebecca, through most of Season 1, actively attempts to ruin AFC Richmond because she wants revenge on her ex-husband, since he cared more about the team than her. Towards the season finale, Ted's genuine kindness and determination win her over, along with Rebecca admitting that seeing the team fail hasn't made her happy.ESPN's Scott Van Pelt appears in the pilot announcing Ted Lasso's hiring at AFC Richmond on a segment of SportsCenter. Real self-care is an internal solution: it’s about changing your internal reality—or your consciousness [boundary setting, self-compassion, and getting clear on values].” -Dr. Pooja Lakshmin Season Two: Positive thinking can't fix all of your personal issues and there are times when you need to be a little selfish and vent some of your negative emotions so you can be mentally healthier. Things happen by baby steps. And you have to pay attention to baby steps. Because most of us get where we’re going through baby steps and not giant leaps. In “Big Week,” the song “Fist Fight!” by Crisis of Conformity plays during the team’s anger montage. The song originated from a Saturday Night Live sketch that Jason Sudeikis had a small (but memorable) part in , in which the aforementioned (fictional) punk band (Fred Armisen, Ashton Kutcher, Dave Grohl, Bill Hader) reunites for the wedding of the lead singer’s daughter.

Ted's son Henry employs this sort of language when he throws a tantrum, and Ted threatens to copy him if the Richmond team doesn't stop speaking cryptically around him.Rage Against the Reflection: a subtle, Downplayed example; Rebecca encourages Nate to find his own private psych-up ritual to increase his confidence. What he settles on is sizing himself up in the mirror, aggressively spitting on his reflection, and walking away. It doesn't project real confidence as much as self-loathing. Although we learn that there exist topless photos of Rebecca, which Keeley demands to see, they are hidden from the audience's view (although Keeley is very impressed by them). Artistic License – Sports: While it gets the Beautiful Game mostly right, there's a few things that are either done incorrectly or changed for the sake of the show's plot and drama. Each season opens and ends with an extreme close up of a character's face. In Season One it was Rebecca, in Season Two it was Nate, and in Season Three it was Ted. Defied when it comes to the team in Season 1 and 2. Most company names associated with AFC Richmond are fictional, down to the brand that makes their kit. In Season 3, Nike stepped on board to produce the team's kit. With this change, the team also gained Nando's as a sleeve sponsor.
