    Touhou Uniform

    Nazrin: "What kind of Montana? ... What sort of weird word is that? Some spell from the outside world?" ￭Well, for a long time now, I've wanted to try putting Touhou characters in pro sports team uniforms. Since I made my art deadline for Winter Comiket okay, I tried drawing Naz as a test. For my initial team, I went with the San Francisco 49ers of the NFL (a U.S. football pro league). The team's name derives from the huge number of people who immigrated to California in 1849, looking to get rich quick in the Gold Rush. The settlers were called "forty-niners" (people of '49), and this was made the name of the team to signify praise of their frontier spirit. Nazrin's spell cards include Treasure: "Gold Rush", so I thought this was a perfect match.... Anyway, there are other characters I'd like to dress for other teams, so I hope I can manage it a little at a time. ￭It's hidden by her hand, but her jersey number is 16, which comes from former team member Joe Montana, known as the greatest quarterback in history. I figured Naz was somehow the character best suited as a QB.

    The only one that I can think of is Okuu in the Ravens uniform....maybe Byakuren in a Saints uniform.

    Hmmmm, I like it. How about Iku in a Chargers uniform? Maybe even Suika in a Rams uniform just for the heck of it. LOL

    I can see Aya as Desean Jackson from the Eagles, both have speed and attitude. And for some reason, I keep imagining Marisa in a Cowboys uniform.

    It's because of that big star that's everywhere, I'm sure.
