Gameday Fashion: Red, black and white (and houndstooth)

Okay. Let me start with a few things.

1. I hope you have enjoyed this series of gameday fashion posts because I will never do it again. I seriously underestimated how much time it would take.

2. For those of you who asked, of course it is still absolutely appropriate to wear shorts or jeans with a simple t-shirt that reads “Texas A&M Football” or whatever represents your particular school. This is just for anyone who may want to take it up a notch. Back in my day I wore maroon wind shorts with “AGGIES” plastered across the bottom and was just as proud. Clearly I’m not in a position to judge anyone’s choice of football game attire.

3. I’ve saved red for last because it is fraught, FRAUGHT, with controversy. I thought orange was dicey, but red opens up Pandora’s box. There is Georgia red and Arkansas red and Oklahoma red and Mississippi red and the precious folks in Alabama who insist that they are crimson. Whatever. All I know is when I went to the Aggies game against Alabama last year it definitely looked red to me.

However, I have included some houndstooth items at the bottom to make up for my lack of discernment between what constitutes red and crimson. God bless Bear Bryant.

Also, I apologize to any red schools that I have failed to mention. I’m sure there are many. If it makes you feel any better, I totally neglected to list TCU among purple schools yesterday and it’s in my home state.

***EDITED TO ADD: Oh my word. I forgot Texas Tech. Dear Kliff, please forgive me. I still think you’re the cutest even though you left us.
