WINNIPEG — A week after the Grey Cup sign went up it appears to have been vandalized.

A hole has been punched into the letter “P”.

It stands 7-feet tall and runs 46-feet long,  it lights up in reaction to tweets with #GreyCup or #CoupeGrey. If the hashtag of a team is used it will light up in that teams colors.

After hearing of the vandalism Paulo Senra, Director of Communications for the CFL fittingly tweeted “Not sure a hole in the letter P will dent 103 years of tradition. #GreyCup sign to be fixed today, police notified.  Tweet on, #CFL fans.”
