We’ve Got Some Great Terp Outfits
There is nothing more anticipated at the University of Maryland than game day. Gameday consists of an exciting Big 10 football game, tailgating, and lots of fun. HaveUHeard that UMD is the only NCAA school to have four official school colors? Red, white, black, and gold are the four colors that all terps get to rep on game day. I am all about red, white, black, and gold on game days, but I am also about fashion. It’s important to dress smart for the weather because game days can be very hot in August or possibly snowing in November!
Some games at UMD will determine what color you should wear. There are plenty of fun color-coordinated games that you can attend. The university will announce in advance if terps should wear a specific color. Want to know the actual primary colors- UMD gives you the graphics versions.
For the best in authentic college clothing, accessories, and fan gear, check out Fanatics. They carry brands such as Jordan Gear, Vineyard Vines, Stance, Columbia, Dooney & Bourke, Tommy Bahama, Vera Bradley, Orca, Southern Tide, College Row One Shoes, Johnnie-O Clothing, and Peter Millar Clothing. Add in everything you need for tailgating including NCAA tents, tables, and chairs, waterless face tattoos, eye black, jewelry, and more.
For shorts or jeans (only if it is cool out), I like American Eagle’s mom jeans or denim shorts. I’ve also found some very cool retro Gator outfits on American Eagle’s tailgate website. They have great options for both women and men, making it easy to get outfits together for the whole family. Pairing a cute tank top or t-shirt with jeans or shorts is a cute tailgate ready outfit.
Sometimes I love to just choose one of the four school colors and add fun accessories to get in the spirit of game day. If you are like me and more about ‘repping the school’s colors, just look for Maryland red, white, black, or gold! The UMD bookstore is a great resource for accessories. Adding a hat or headband with testudo is a cute way I have dressed up a tailgate outfit.
Throw in some more accessories including a regulation stadium bag from SCORE! The Official Game Day bag (you even get a 15% discount- use code HUH15).
We would strongly recommend leaving the high heels at home as you will be walking a good distance to the stadium (unless you were lucky enough to get there many, many hours in advance and snag a great parking spot) and climbing stands. I love wearing Converse sneakers or Adidas Stan Smith, depending on my outfit. When it gets cold, I would recommend wearing some flat or low booties, timberlands, or Ugg’s to keep warm!
