New Alabama Crimson Tide Tailgate Fleece in at J&O Fabrics!

January 1, 2010 has brought in not only a new year, but new fabric too, and J&O Fabrics is excited to list this latest addition of tailgate fleece to our Alabama Crimson Tide Collegiate collection.

The team originally rose to prominence following their 1922 victory win over Penn and the building of a dynasty after then coach Wallace Wade led the University of Alabama football team to the Rose Bowl win over Washington. The teams newfound popularity had students, football players, and fans alike from the Northeast enrolling at Alabama at such a rate that by 1930, over one-their of the student body was from out-of-state.
