For many colleges and universities in the United States, the fall season marks not only the start of another grueling semester of papers and exams, but for many schools, the celebration of an old American tradition simply titled ‘Homecoming’.Dating back as early as the 1920’s, this is when past residents and current alumni migrate back to their alma mater to reconnect with old friends, pep rally with new ones, rock to the battle the bands, and watch as their team kicks butt in a good old fashioned football game with the visiting university who dares to score a touchdown on their home field. Such famous homecoming rivalries as “The Iron Bowl’ (Alabama vs. Auburn), “The Game” (Harvard vs. Yale), “The Lone Star Showdown” (Texas vs. Texas A&M) and “The World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party” (Florida vs. Georgia) draw masses of spectators and even shut down states as the two teams compete for the win that will earn them bragging rights for another season.
Some will gladly hand over the benjamin’s to gain them a seat among the wild and crazy rallying fans to watch their home team make history, while others can be found among the multitude of individuals, food vendors, beer guzzlers and party goers at the never-ending tailgate frenzy just outside. Whether there to root for #23 with the buns of steel, march in the parade, or merely to rep their college, at homecoming it’s got to be done with style and flair. From Iowa Hawkeye ribbons, Michigan Wolverine tailgate fabric, and Florida Gators fleece, to Penn State Nittany Lions cotton and Crimson Tide Panels, there’s no better way to show a little team spirit with great garments, crafts and accessories garnished in the colors that lets everyone know who’s in the house!
