Fashionable football fans - Vintage school tees

Filed under: Clothing


We can't deny that we love watching a college football game and seeing the stands filled with school colors and pictures of mascots -- it creates this amazing feeling of team spirit and unity, and we're complete suckers for it. However, it's really unfortunate that so many college tees seem to cram as many images and words and ridiculously bright colors onto the front and back of each shirt as possible. Spirited, these shirts might be, but they are also ugly.

If you're opting to wear a t-shirt representing your school, find one that stands out. The old-school mascots and vintage tees are still very in, whether it was your mom's shirt from the seventies or you just bought it new.

We loved Chip and Pepper's University line last year around this time, and we're still digging it. We like that they not only offer a vintage look for both men and women, but there are also some really interesting prints, which are sure conversation starters. Ladies, try wearing yours with a denim mini or some vintage-looking jeans. Guys, try replacing your school baseball cap with a newboy cap, and maybe a preppy cardigan, to give your tee a little extra appeal.
