Between the denim and cowboy boots, one piece from Emerald's closet stands out as a tribute to the heart of the film: the green jersey she wears during the finale. "We wanted her to have something green to recall emerald, and I made that jersey in lots of different greens," Bovaird says. In piecing together different costume options, she eventually landed on the idea that the jersey was a hand-me-down from OJ's school football team.
Bovaird also revealed that the crest on the school (a cool graphic with a bendy horse) is from an actual high school in the Santa Clarita area. With the colour choice and Canyon Creek Cowboys insignia settled, her only dilemma was choosing what number to put on the front of Emerald's jersey. After some careful consideration, the number two was the obvious choice, a heartwarming nod to Emerald and OJ's brother-sister bond.
