Iconic Boston ducklings are wearing Pats jerseys


Whether you like New England sports or not, one thing every sports fan should respect is how unified the area is behind its teams. Everyone is all-in, all the time, including, it seems, Boston Public Garden's ducklings.

The statues were installed in the Garden in 1987 as a tribute to the children's book Make Way for Ducklings, but with the NFL playoffs heating up and New England looking like the best team of the lot, they're taking on a decidedly Patriots feel…
