Back in college I would wear t-shirts, jerseys, and team hats on game day. Simple. After graduation I realized that game days are a little bit harder to dress for. Usually, going to the game is just one part of a long day that includes going out to dinner, hanging out with friends at the bar, or even going to work. And since I'm going to different games I don't always have a tee with the team logo.
So I've started putting together outfits based on team colors that I could wear just about anywhere. Luckily, most team colors are pretty basic, so I usually have a few pieces to choose from hanging in my closet. If you need a specific color, head to your local Goodwill. No, seriously. Everything is grouped by color so it is relatively easy to find what you're looking for if you have a specific color in mind. Chances are you can find the perfect piece for a low price! Whatever your reason for putting together an alternate game day outfit, here's some inspiration based on games I've been to over the past few years, created with pieces I already own, or I found at the thrift store.
