If you started a sports team, what would the colors and mascot be?
This is an excellent question to answer!
Sports is not just a game or physical fitness exercise. Sports represents identity, dedication, discipline, strength and resilience. In a team context, it also represents unity, teamwork and loyalty in the team and with its fans. It wins honour for either an individual sportsman or a sports team, and to take it on a national level, the honour of their country.
The colours and mascot of a sports team has to represent vision, spirit, unity, strength, agility and integrity of the team. Golden colour represents gold, which is hard, strong and shiny metal as well as being the royal colours of many imperial empires.
In the animal domain, lion represents king of animals on the ground and eagle takes all on vision, speed and boundless freedom. In the human realm, lion represents royalty and strength, and gold serves as an ancient symbol of the highest authority and wealth.
Gold is, however, more than a symbol of status and wealth. It is a sacred substance that appears throughout Scripture as a metaphor for divinity, purity and eternal value. Gold is used to build Jehovah God’s tabernacle (the first God’s temple) and is often used to symbolise Christ.
The choice for my sports team’s colours and mascot would follow the spirit of the highest Spirit, which would be gold in colour and both lion and eagle for the mascot.

[10] “Have them make an ark of acacia wood—two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high. [11] Overlay it with pure gold, both inside and out, and make a gold molding around it. [12] Cast four gold rings for it and fasten them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. [13] Then make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold. [18] And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. [23] “Make a table of acacia wood—two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high. [24] Overlay it with pure gold and make a gold molding around it. [25] Also make around it a rim a handbreadth wide and put a gold molding on the rim. [26] Make four gold rings for the table and fasten them to the four corners, where the four legs are. [31] “Make a lampstand of pure gold. Hammer out its base and shaft, and make its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them. [38] Its wick trimmers and trays are to be of pure gold. [39] A talent of pure gold is to be used for the lampstand and all these accessories.”
