Slap Bracelet Style Koozie

in gear

In my younger days I was no stranger to wearing Hypercolor t-shirts, Reebok Pumps, and of course a slap bracelet. We all did. Then some kid in NY cut himself with one and ruined the fun for everybody else. Now I can keep my tailgating drink cold with a koozie that utilizes the same concept. KoozieSlap.com sent me a couple of their slap bracelet style koozies. Besides the obvious nostalgia and novelty, these koozies are quite functional. Unlike other koozies I was able to successfully use the same slap koozie on a can, bottle, glass, and solo cup. You can order these bad boys for $5 in a generic design or for North Carolina, Duke, Florida, Penn State, East Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech. Check out the slap koozie in action…

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.

UNC absolutely dominated Rutgers on the field. But what happens when the tailgatresses match up off the field? Seem like UNC girls may be a bit classier and also take most of their photos inside the stadium. Rutgers girls apparently come to party.

NORTH CAROLINA – CHAPEL HILL

RUTGERS:

And this is really the piece de resistance. Click on the picture for the full size version. I refer to this as Trashgating. Almost every girl is wearing the same cutoff jean skirt. Also notice the ginger kid with khaki/cammo? shorts and white high tops on the left. And not that they can help it, but the mud just adds to the overall impression.
