Maybe it’s in your closet hanging behind that charcoal suit you haven’t worn since Easter. Or perhaps it is under those branded golf shirts in your bureau. It could be a t-shirt, a knit shirt, or a dress shirt. Possibly it is a blouse, or hair bow. You know it as your lucky game-day apparel, and you know what I am talking about.
It’s time to take it out, dust it off, wash it, iron it, kiss it, go through whatever ritual you have for it…and then put it on….because Friday is College Colors Day.
College Colors Day is an annual celebration organized by the Collegiate Licensing Company and it’s consortium of colleges and universities. Your alma mater, favorite school or team, or local university is probably participating. All of the schools in the SEC and the ACC are.
College Colors Day, which coincides with both “back to school” and the kickoff of intercollegiate athletics….including football (yeah!! and for me…War Eagle!!)…seeks to celebrate and promote the traditions and spirit that make the college traditions great by getting fans, alumni and students to wear apparel of their favorite college throughout the day of Friday, September 4, 2009.
Therefore, I invite you to join me….as I will be wearing MY favorite Orange, Blue and White shirt, to put on YOUR favorite team apparel…and make Friday an exciting College Colors Day. Heck, you can even bring your pom-pom shaker to work or school if you dare!
There’s nothing like the college traditions. And what a great way to start the first weekend of the new college football season.
I just hope my shirt still fits. I’m not sure that charcoal suit does.
