About this objectTeam uniform for the Auld Reekie Roller Girls’ intraleague team, the Leithal Weapons. The derby name and number on the back, Tuna Lovegood 626 are the donor's own. They note: "An interesting fact is that, even though we already picked out roller derby names for ourselves, for our home teams we went through a phase of picking additional, new comedy names. This shirt features a name I used for the year the intraleague team all decided to use fish-themed names."
