sports tradition
Game day ceremony
A sports tradition is a ritual, practice, or custom associated with a particular team, venue, or sporting event that has been repeated over time and become part of its identity.
Traditions range from pregame ceremonies to victory celebrations: The team continued its tradition of touching the rock before taking the field.
Some traditions involve fans—singing a particular song, wearing certain colors, or performing coordinated cheers.
Others belong to players: It's tradition for rookies to carry the veterans' equipment.
