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.

Sure, football is a good excuse for guys to get together to grill, drink beer, argue about plays and stats -- to put it simply, it's a great way for them to bond. But, for the halfway fashion conscious guy, it's also a perfect chance to dress to impress. Because you have automatic colors to work with, you have the ability to play around a little more with the form while still looking like "one of the guys."

Think about how men dressed for sporting events 50 years ago -- they didn't need loud graphics to show their school spirit. Instead, they relied on classic pieces in the right colors, and that's something that's easy for you to do, too.

Seriously? Seriously. Look at this hat.

We are stunned. We are delighted and repulsed. We have two questions. They work separately and together: Why? Pink? Why pink?

We've officially seen it all. Everything. We will no longer be surprised and/or amazed by the offspring created when technology and fashion get together, usually after having one too many at the office Christmas party. It happens.

A company called Kuchofuku has created the answer to all of your sweating in the cubicle blues. They have created a shirt with built in air conditioning that is powered by your USB drive. Seriously. No longer will you have to sit and sweat in the office because Ted in accounting, who refuses to retire, feels a chill.

I grew up in Arizona. I remember one time when I was about 13-years-old my buddy and I painted our faces red and blue, the colors of the University of Arizona Wildcats, before a football game with our dads. We were those fans.

When I got older and actually attended the U of A I traded my make-up kit for a tailgate and my body weight in beer. I'm sure the make-up looked better on me than the drunk did, but hey, it's all relative.

Apparently I took the easy road. A real fan would have combined the two. Nothing says super fan like make-up and alcohol (just ask Ace Frehley). It says a few other things too, but that's a different post.
