Here we go again! It's that time of year again, when college teams are starting a new season and students are headed towards another year. Alumni, students, and fans alike can show their loyalty and true colors in many, many ways, and even stay warm in the process. While football moves indoors in colder climes for the pros, college athletes, and their fans, are likely to be playing and cheering outdoors, come rain, wind, or shine.

The true fan will be well-prepared for the fall season. It's important to remember that autumn usually means unpredictable weather, and the key to dressing is layering up. And any truly devoted fan will want each layer to reflect his or her loyalty. After spending the summer in t-shirts, look now for long sleeve t-shirts to make the changeover to cooler weather. As fall goes on, your fan will want to don a sweatshirt or windbreaker; with lined jackets for even colder days. Favorite team and college logos will be omnipresent, as expected. For headgear, baseball caps and floppy hats that kept the sun off your face and neck will give way to knit caps. Matching gloves, mittens, and scarves will also become popular, all emblazoned with logos and the school colors.

Dropping your kid off at college to start the year? Add some college fan gear to your dorm room decorating list. Banners and posters work great for covering up bare, white walls, while soapboxes and even toothbrushes will give an additional school spirit for the ol' alma mater in the shower. College jerseys will always be a great hit, and If your kid is playing intramural sports, replica jerseys like the ones worn by the varsity teams will draw attention on the field or court. Workout gear like t-shirts, athletic shorts, and even socks will round out the gym wardrobe. Heading up for Parent Weekend? Here is one time it's fine to dress up like your kids. A lot of colleges and universities also have special 'parent-wear' available if you want.

You will find fan gear readily available at any number of local shops outside the campus bookstore.
