Starting lineup, couch edition

Every household has one good blanket, and everybody knows exactly who’s holding it. The rest of the couch makes do with a throw pillow and a quiet sigh.

This three-pack fixes the shortage. You get three officially licensed Women’s USA Soccer throws, one each for Kristie Mewis, Lindsey Horan, and Megan Rapinoe, with the player’s name and number on each. The sublimated logos and color-matched fabric make the design part of the blanket itself.

Each one measures a generous 60" x 80" and has a plush fleece feel. That covers movie night, a Halloween evening on the couch, or a match you’re taking very seriously. (Yes, you can take a match seriously under a blanket. It’s allowed.)

Cleanup is easy, too. They’re washer and dryer safe, so game-day snack casualties are survivable.

Three blankets also means a built-in team. Claim your favorite player, hand the others to whoever sits closest, and prepare to negotiate over who gets Rapinoe. Every good lineup needs a little drama.
