JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — More than 400 Jacksonville Jaguars fans made their way to downtown for the 25th annual Painting of the Paws on Saturday morning.
They painted 344 yellow paw prints from the Main Street Bridge and East Bay Street to TIAA Bank Field.
Star Brayden and her family are huge Jaguars fans.
This the fourth year the mother of four brought her kids out to Painting of the Paws.
“We get to walk by our paw and say that’s our paw print,” Brayden said.
Jax Chamber’s Downtown Council tells us the Painting of the Paws tradition began 25 years ago when the Jaguars first came to Jacksonville.

Saturday morning, 12 teams continued that tradition as they went out and painted yellow paw prints to help kick off the official start of the 2019 football season.
“We’re really excited to see what they’re going to do this year,” Kristina Lamb said. She’s a proud grandmother of football fans and football players.
The family tells us when they head to the Jaguars games in the fall, other fans will know how much they love their team and their city.
“Whether you’re going to the stadium or if you’re going to a restaurant, somebody’s walking past these paws and we got to be a part of that all year long. It’s our city our paws,” Brayden said.
