Tailgating Ties

nixforsix — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 14:33:16 +0000

Outside of fraternities, most people don’t wear a coat and tie tailgating these days. Many of us though have suffered the horror of the dreaded fall wedding . Southern Proper makes sure you can still sport some team pride while you’re chugging free bourbon and constantly checking your phone for scores. They have a collection of neck and bow ties adorned with the mascots of a variety of colleges. By my count they have Alabama, Auburn (though tiger paws), Clemson, East Carolina, Florida, UGA, Georgia Tech, LSU, Mississippi State, North Carolina, NC State, Ole Miss, Texas, and Virginia all covered. You may have to click on their sample to see the logo in a different color (like UGA and MSU in red and maroon). In addition to their online store, these ties are available at a bunch of stores across the Southeast and beyond.

Crazy Tailgating Pants, Skirts, and more

Whether you spotted them on John Daly, the Norwegian Curling team, around campus on gameday, or at the links…. you’ve probably seen Loudmouth Pants before. Thanks to South Bend Seven for helping us put a brand name with these ridiculous pants. I’ve noticed a trend towards the more outrageous in tailgating pants lately and these certainly fit the bill. In addition to the pants, Loudmouth also has coats for the guys and skirts and short shorts for the ladies. The color combinations cover the tailgating needs for many major programs like Florida, Texas, Ohio State, LSU, and North Carolina. And for the Bama fans out there they have houndstooth ties, coats, pants, shorts, skirts, and even divot tools. To see if they have your school’s colors check out the site.

Tailgating in Pajamas

nixforsix — Wed, 09 Dec 2009 00:05:56 +0000

This Oregon fan has achieved total comfort by tailgating in hooded pajamas. To me, this raises a couple of questions:

1) Do you think he sleeps in these, rolls out of bed in the morning, pours a drink, and heads straight to the tailgate?

2) How do you go to the bathroom?

It’s Never Too Early to Tailgate

Though Iowa probably lives up to this motto, these shirts are actually made for a large number of schools. So I decided to search around a little and figure out the most ridiculous school that prints this shirt. I feel confident that I have found the winner.

Ted Bundy was a Husky

I haven’t found the shirt pictured below for sale on the internet. However, you can get what I believe is a more accurately spelled Ted Bundy was a Husky Shirt from Fighting Duck Tees. If you’re not into referencing serial killers you could probably just go with the Pete Carroll likes fish sticks shirt.

Tru Colors: Tailgating Dresses and Tops

nixforsix — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 20:17:15 +0000

I’m sure the average tailgatress struggles with picking out 6-8 different outfits to wear during fall Saturdays. And female fans of certain schools with awful colors have it worse than others (I’m looking at you Oregon). Beyond the properly worn jersey, girls are pretty much left with the task of finding a sundress featuring school colors or mixing and matching from JCrew. Having faced this task, LSU Grads Amy Chenevert and Gretchen Gilich started Tru Colors Apparel. Their line of tailgating dresses and tops pretty much covers every SEC school. They also have retailers located in the college football hotbeds of the South.

Belt Buckle Bottle Openers with Collegiate Logos

nixforsix — Sun, 30 Aug 2009 22:44:39 +0000

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that belt buckles with bottle openers and college logos are a cool idea in theory only. There are lots of college football fans who wear belt buckles. A large percentage of those belt buckled fans also drink beer. But the chances that those people will have to quote Adam Sandler at some point in the day are around 80%.

Collegiate Snuggies are Coming and they are Hideous

nixforsix — Tue, 05 May 2009 00:33:12 +0000

Oh the horror. So they finally get around to releasing Snuggies with college logos on them, which theoretically should be a huge success. But they took an “article of clothing” that any normal person would be timid about wearing in public, and made it more ghastly. Did they just hire the same designers who create the college hats and t-shirts that you find at gas stations and Wal Mart? There appear to be at least 4 different logos on each of those. Why wouldn’t you just put one gigantic logo on it? People already make blankets like this, all you had to do was add sleeves. But I guess it’s not all bad news. For those of you out there that already have shirts like this to wear in September you now have a way to keep warm in November without sacrificing your trademark style.

Tailgating Attire: The Tressel T

nixforsix — Mon, 01 Sep 2008 13:06:06 +0000

I get the feeling that rocking a sweater, albeit a vest, in August is not the most comfortable attire for tailgating. Have no fear though Buckeye fans. You can now sport a faux sweater vest t-shirt in a show of support for Jim Tressel.
