Back To School, Back To College Sports

It’s that time of year again, when students are heading off to college, and new sports seasons are starting for college teams. There are many ways for students, alumni, and hometown fans alike to show their loyalty, and stay warm as they cheer on their teams in dropping temperatures. While football moves indoors in colder climes for the pros, college athletes, and their fans, are likely to be playing and cheering outdoors, come rain, wind, or shine. Make sure that your favorite fan has a well stocked closet for the fall season.

The key to dressing for fall, with unpredictable weather that varies from mimicking summer to winter to everything in between, is layering. And any truly faithful fan will want each layer to reflect her loyalty. After spending the summer in t-shirts trying to stay cool, look now for long sleeve t-shirts to make the transition to cooler weather. As fall goes on, your fan will want to don a sweatshirt or windbreaker, emblazoned with his favorite team’s logo of course. Look for lined jackets for even colder days. On football weekends, your fan may be spending the whole day outdoors, tailgating, then cheering.

Baseball caps and floppy hats are the way to go for keeping summer sun off your face and neck, but they don’t do much to keep ears warm, so look for knit caps in school colors, and don’t forget matching gloves or mittens and scarves!

Dropping your kid off at college to start the year? Add some college fan items to your dorm room decorating list. Banners and posters are great for covering up bare, white walls. Toothbrushes and soap boxes will give your student fond feelings for alma mater as he heads to the showers. If she’s playing intramural sports, replica jerseys like the ones worn by the varsity teams will draw attention on the field or court, and workout gear like t-shirts, athletic shorts, and even socks will round out her gym wardrobe. Heading up for Parents’ Weekend? Here’s one time it’s okay to dress like your kids. Many colleges will have special parent-wear available.

If your kid is at a school like UCLA or Notre Dame, you’ll find fan gear readily available at any number of places outside the campus bookstore. For smaller campuses, look for stores that can personalize generic items with your school’s name or embroider the school logo on clothing, backpacks, and other gear.
