Even though I had no clue about todays theme I found it super easy to find 
all the various teams beginning with TIGERS, which was conveniently placed at

ferocious animals in QUAKERS, associated with the athletic teams from the 
University of Pennsylvania, and CRIMSON, which is associated with the team 
from Hogwarts
