Gigantic jerseys

I don't know if you are familiar with the tradition in Detroit of dressing up the Spirit of Detroit statue with a Red Wings or TIgers jersey when they make the finals.

Is anyone aware of any other gigantic jerseys that have been made outside of the ones in Detroit?

I can't shake the feeling that, at some point, the Hammering Man statue outside the Seattle Art Museum had a jersey on.

Edit: n/m I was thinking of his giant Santa hat.

This almost looks photoshopped, but I assure you it's not. I'm not sure what material it was made out of though, and it wasn't an accurate depiction of their actual jerseys, but...

This is the Alma Mater statue at the University of Illinois during the 2004-05 Basketball Season. Don't remember if it was just for the Tourney, just for the Final Four or what.

EDIT: Better photos...

And this isn't sports, but just another "dress-up" I came across. The "make some 'Nois" was a homecoming theme, but the guitar wasn't something I had seen used with that until this photo.

There is the Toewsasaurus at the Field Museum in Chicago:

They also had a Pterodac-bull:

This little guy, however, prefers the Hawks:

The Art Institute's Lion is a Bears fan, which seems funny:

The Picasso, however, seems to be unable to make up its mind:
