Get ready for Football Season

With September Saturdays here, thoughts in the Deep South turn to COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!!

It is a humbling and exhilarating experience to be near college stadiums on Saturdays in the fall.  Team spirit (sometimes known as fanaticism) reigns on the field, in the stands, in the parking lot, and in the backyard.

Get ready to show some school pride and support with college team officially licensed products available in select stores and online.  You will be the envy of the tailgating lot and the neighborhood!

College Teams

Check out our college gear - great for going to the game or outfitting your college student in style. Team pride can be shown in your key chains and lanyards. 

Tailgating fashion must-haves include stadium seats and tents filled with your coolers and rolling coolers. 

Sit in style at the game on your cushion and hard back stadium seats.

Decorate your home and outdoor living area as THE Saturday football destination station.  Greet your guests with doormats, flags, and yard signs.  

A college team gnome will surely make your guests feel special and grace your outdoor living area.

Create a home fashion statement with a wide assortment of rugs, carpet tiles, and wall appliqués. 

Complete the atmosphere with sphere chairs and party buckets. 

Now bring on the football food!  Show loyalty to your favorite team by wearing a coordinating apron and grill gloves while using customized BBQ tools to showcase your culinary skills. 

Even your grill and patio set can show team spirit with grill toppers, grill mats, and patio set covers.

After a hard day of football, toss your game day wear into a team hamper and rest up for next week.

Professional Teams



If your Sunday loyalties are with the NFL – and who cannot get enough football! – be sure to check out your team’s officially licensed products available in select stores and online. 

Start the week wearing a hard hat and sunglasses. 

Go to the game with your team key chain, stadium seats, and coolers. 

Decorate your home with table lamps, wall clocks, wall appliqués and fatheads.

Don’t forget to properly position your doormats, team rug and NFL carpet tiles in front of your team chairs and recliner.

Expert chefs will have to use their team grill cover to ensure culinary and scoring success. 

And don't forget the gnomes!  NFL gnomes are available as statues and banks.  Who knows, they may become as popular as starting quarterbacks!

Happy football season and I hope my team wins!

THDiva! regrets that she could not put all of the college and NFL teams in this blog.  If I missed your team (or if I included your team), please send me a photo of your team loyalty.  I look forward to seeing you in action!
