Vancouver showed up for yet another year of hilarious costumes at the Canada Sevens series on Saturday at BC Place.
Canada went 2-1 in its first day of pool play, beating Germany and Chile while falling to the Americans.
Rugby sevens has a history around the globe, particularly in Vancouver, about having one of the best fan experiences on and off the field.
With many fans taking in their first sporting event in about a year and a half, fans were making sure to make their presence known, dressing in traditionally absurd costumes to make sure they were having the best time.
Here’s some of the best looks from Day 1:
