Dry Shanuary day 9: gridball jersey 🏟️

Some pre dad-bod, college gridball star Shane for you this morning. Picture this being right before whatever career ending injury you hc for him (i like to think it was his knee)

I know canonically gridball is presented like American football, but I always picture it more like rugby? Mostly because I picture Shane as short and stocky and in the past he definitely got picked up like this:

My Opinion on the Topic of Gridball

Alright. Not a single person has probably wondered but has anyone else ever noticed the discrepancy between what Shane refers to as gridball and what Alex refers to as gridball? I'm here to put my useless two cents on the matter because whenever I come up with a new and stupid thing to think of, I always put myself wholeheartedly into things.

Alright. My thoughts? Gridball in the Stardew Valley universe is like the American football vs. futbol debate.

Here is why: When you speak to Alex and he talks about gridball, he often holds what looks like an American football and speaks about it like a football player in the real life. He's a jock, what can I say? His sprite outside of his house is also seen tossing the ball like a football and he talks about the fact that he wants to throw it around with your character (though I still get mad ab his dialog for that one if you're a woman). I've never seen Alex's heart cutscenes because I've never romanced him, but I'm sure there is some evidence there to the American football association.

Now, I looked through his dialog on the wiki and nothing there seems to stick out in terms of moving us toward his being like soccer. However! In the trivia section, they claim that his Tunnelers jersy looks like a reference to a jersey from a real-life soccer team. He does mention having been on his high school's varsity gridball team and his spouse room contains a soccer ball, which would make sense for him to have if he played it in high school. I'd also like to point out that his 8-heart cut-scene (which I have seen many times bc I am, first and foremost, a Shane lover<33) looks like it takes place in a soccer stadium, not a football stadium.

This has been an incredibly lackluster review on why my opinion is (maybe?) correct. Argue w/ the wall if you disagree thank you<3
