Canary is from nearby Rockville, Maryland, and graduated from Maryland this past winter, so he has grown up fully understanding the importance of the Maryland flag. He has since started graduate school inside the prestigious Robert Smith Business School, allowing Canary to keep his student tickets and go to as many sporting events as he wants.
During his time at Maryland, Canary has been a super fan, attending events for nearly every team from field hockey to wrestling to gymnastics to softball. has seen all but one Terp team play. The lone program left is the women’s tennis team, an omission that Canary is hoping to rectify in the coming weeks with their season just starting on January 22nd.
Before the pandemic, Canary attended events like any normal fan but still found ways to stand out and make his fandom unique, including a Maryland flag face covering. However, Canary’s mask became passé because of the impending COVID-19 pandemic.
Even before the pandemic hit, Canary was brainstorming ways to up his Maryland fandom, and that’s when he found the suit. When the Maryland athletic department announced on May 24, 2021, that fans would be allowed in the stands again, Canary knew it was time to make the purchase.
With the memories of the 2020 shutdowns and the lack of fans at sporting events firmly in his mind, Canary made it a point never to take attending games for granted again.
Canary would debut the flag suit for the Maryland football game against Howard University, much to the chagrin of his friends and girlfriend.
“I don't think they were particularly surprised,” Canary said with a laugh. “Maybe a little because even for me, it's a bit much. I think they've gotten pretty much used to by now, but I don't think it came as a surprise to them.”
