The man behind the uniform, Shelton Douthett, was once dared to get dressed up at games by his brother, who was sick in the hospital. After his brother passed away, Shelton continued attending games in full uniform to honor his late brother.
His name is Shelton Douthett. When his brother was in the hospital with pneumonia he told Shelton it would be fun to dress in a full jersey and pads for a game when he got better. His brother died soon after. So he dresses in a full pads, in his brother's memory, every game. https://t.co/TZMrCwYf8u
