Some Pacific Northwesterners need to get over the two-week rivalry from Super Bowl XLVIII.

According to CBS 4 in Denver, a five-year-old Broncos fan in Tacoma, Wash. was disciplined for supporting her team -- and not the local Seahawks -- on her elementary school's dress-down day.

She was even told to change back into her school's uniform, according to the girl's grandparents.

“Her teacher happens to be an avid Seahawks fan, so she called her aside and told her that she was not allowed to wear her Broncos dress," said Fawn Allen, the girl's grandmother. "If she didn’t have a Seahawk shirt she had to wear her uniform."

The school has since apologized and will allow the girl to wear her Broncos gear on Friday.
