Enter Kati Sullivan of Havertown and her son Owen who came up with a truly original Philly sports-themed costume for the ages.

We reached out to Kati who informed us that the costume was Owen's idea. Mom worked as the Project Manager and dad and the family's friend Ginny did the artwork. Owen is a fifth grader who recently went to his first Sixers game on opening night against the Celtics and mom is taking him to his first Eagles game on Sunday. Heck of a week for that little dude.

Today I met one of my new best friends. His names Owen. And his costumes better than yours.
