Get Ready for Game Day
Whether you are tailgating out at the stadium or having a get together in the backyard, everyone knows that you have to have the proper set up. Seating at the tailgate party can get tricky, but we think this AirCandy Glitter Inflatable Chair is a great option. It’s easy to inflate, comes in fun festive colors and when you’re done, you can use it in your dorm room or rec room. Having a good sound system is a must and this FLIP 5 Portable Waterproof Speaker that can easily be thrown in your bag. It has 12 hours of playtime and you don’t have to worry if it rains or snows on game day because it is waterproof.
Speaking of weather, we know that game days especially in September can be hot or get drastically cold so we love having the Go 4 Portable Hand-Held Rechargeable Fan and some blankets in our team colors as part of our set up too. And before you head into the stadium, you’ll want to check the rules and make sure you have a clear bag, as many require the ability to see your items so we find the Baggallini Stadium Clear Pocket Crossbody to be a great solution! Macy’s makes all of it easy with their online shopping or you can select items and pick them up at your local store too.
Fire Up the Grill
It’s all about the food! Football themed everything helps get you fueled for the hours of cheering that lay ahead. We love Picnic Time Oniva® by X-Grill Portable Charcoal BBQ Grill because it’s lightweight, easy to assemble and packs down flatter than a pancake! Plus it comes with a carrying tote and shoulder strap. Once you’ve grilled up your burgers, hot dogs or even carne asade for tacos, the Picnic Time Toscana® by Kickoff Football Cutting Board & Serving Tray lends the perfect game dat presentation. It’s made from eco-friendly bamboo and the recessed juice groove keeps your table clean.
Now if you’re looking to tailgate with more of a picnic flair, the Picnic At Ascot Deluxe 4 Person Picnic Backpack Cooler, Wine Pouch and Blanket is a must. Bring on your wine and cheese, paired with fruit this backpack not only has place settings for four, but features a detachable insulated wine holder and thermal shield insulated cooler section with leak proof liner. It Includes a combination corkscrew, hardwood cutting board, cheese knife, wooden salt and pepper shakers, non spill tops, acrylic wine glasses and more.
All of these items can be found at Macy’s which makes it really convenient, and also at the store, or online you can find the Design Imports Sunday Football Dishtowels and the Tovolo Set of 2 Football Ice Molds so whether you are tailgating or entertaining in your home, you can add a little flair to your kitchen or table area.
Support Your School
Sometimes on game day you want to level up with your attire. We love these custom embroidered sweatshirts and cashmere sweaters from The Lady Doth. From creating a cashmere sweater with a varsity letter or taking your team saying or chant and creating a custom embroidered sweatshirt, these items are so unique your team spirit won’t go unnoticed. Everything is fully customizable. You pick the color of the sweater or sweatshirt, saying and then the font style and color. We also think these are a really fun way to show team spirit for high school and youth sports.
In addition to the fun team sweaters, The Lady Doth’s work has also been seen on Oprah for her VOTE sweater and The Home Edit for a Schitt’s Creek-inspired “Ew, David,” sweater. We love that whatever you choose these are chic and personal and will keep the fans looking stylish with a little sass.
Family Cheer
Let’s get the whole family outfitted and full of team spirit! If it’s baby’s first game then Carter’s 3-Piece Football Outfit Set is the way to go. Carter’s also has a fun Toddler Boys Football Dinosaur Jersey T-Shirt too. We can’t leave out the girls, Nike has a Toddler Girls One Luxe T-shirt and Legging Set because they know “Girls Rule the World” and older girls will love Ideology’s Lace Up Tees. And adults can be game day ready from head-to-toe with a “Football Everyday” Fifth Sun Crew T-Shirt and football socks from Hot Sox.
Macy’s has so many options from mom and dad to kids and even the family pet! Your dog will be “The Real MVP” in this Brass Monkey Dog Bandana.
Spirit Colors
Game day often means being on your feet all day long. While we want to look stylish, we also want to be comfortable. We love the latest collection from Blowfish Malibu featuring lots of great boot options. They have flats, wedged boots and even ones with shearling for when game day is going to be a little bit cooler. Blowfish Malibu is available on Amazon, Zappo’s and Famous Footwear. Some of our favorites from the new collection include Venom, Redsen and Herstory.
Something fun that we like to do with your family or a group of fellow fans is to get creative. Showing your school spirit doesn’t have to stop with your top, why not carry it out to your shoes too! Blowfish Malibu also has these canvas sneakers that come in a variety of colors and styles. Even ones with a hidden wedge! A fun idea is to take these canvas sneakers, get some fabric or puff paint and personalize your shoes with your team’s logo, a chant, or your favorite player’s number. The sky’s the limit with Blowfish Malibu’s shoe collection.
We received items from Macy’s, The Lady Doth, and Blowfish Malibu for consideration. All of our thoughts and ideas are our own.
