Ideas for a football fan war in our office? This aggression will not stand, man!→[More:]So our office is in Wisconsin (home of the Green Bay Packers), but one of our coworkers is an insufferable Bears fan. He owns a Ditka vest and has a different Bears-centric outfit for every day this week. (For reference: we are university spokespeople. The office is professional, but on the very casual side of business casual.)

My bosses came over and quietly suggested that we fight back on Friday. What can we do? So far all I can think of is gift-wrapping his door in green and gold. Hell, I don't even own any Packer-wear.

Can you put cheeseheads (purchased or homemade) on his various office equipment? As a Bears fan, the foam cheeseheads are definitely what annoy me most, and I think walking into an office where the computer, my pens and pencils, my chairs, etc. all had cheesy heads would irritate the living hell out of me, in a friendly NFL fan sort of way.

Friday afternoon: have everyone (that wants to partake) set their ringtone to "Go, You Packers, Go!". Have a volunteer keep an eye on him and call anyone he stops to have a conversation with or anyone that pops into his office.

Better yet: maybe I can hide a spare cell phone in his outer office area so we can make it ring any time we want.

Keep 'em coming!

green and gold packing peanuts or ping-pong balls maybe a stretch, but if you can procure and/or color a bunch, then fill his binder bin(s) with 'em. Requires tools for strategic removal of the top of the binder bin, but the payoff is well worth the hassle.

Packers mousepad?

Subtle but possibly effective: dress a cuddly teddy bear in green & gold :)
