Ana Söderström’s themed jersey design would likely be for a game night dedicated to highlighting the cause of autism acceptance, given her past experiences. The Falcons jersey suits the #RedInstead movement to advance this goal well, and the falcon logo would have the “infinity” symbol in the backdrop for another important symbol in the cause. Ana has learned to accept and treasure this part of her identity over the years, and her hope is that her teammates who have known her for the past four seasons would get the symbolism and get on board. Of course, there are going to be ableist people in every crowd, but hopefully the Detroit faithful can see the value of the jersey and its cause for what it is. There might not be many neurodivergent players in the SHL or SMJHL, but that number isn’t zero so Ana wants to help eliminate the stigma around these players and their perceived ability to excel on the ice and fit into a locker room.
