Are you ready for some football???

Football season is officially here in the Carolinas as the Panthers take on the Ravens tonight for their first pre season game of the 2010 season. Then in just a few weeks college football kicks off and weekends will be filled with tailgating, game days, and team inspired fashion! Yes, thats right, if you grew up an SEC girl you know what I am talking about. Football games are the perfect opportunity to sport your team colors in your own glamorous and fabulous way. Weather you are sporting Kentucky blue or Tennessee Orange I have found a few site for some great inspiration. So ladies pop in your pearls, grab your koozies and get ready for a great season!

I came across this adorable online boutique that is based out of Charlotte and owned by two young women. Their site is easy to navigate breaking their clothing down by dresses, tops, bottoms, etc. They then go in to color schemes to help you find your true team colors! Here are a few of their items!

Blue Ruffle Sleeve Dress- Perfect for a Kentucky game!

Teal Woven Side Button Jacket - This would be ideal for a cold Panthers game and its only $25 dollars!!!

If you are looking for something a little more casual to wear on game day Victoria Secret has the answer.

Victoria Secret offers merchandise for almost every major college and they sell everything from t-shirts to underwear, baseball hats and yoga pants.

We must not forget the men in our lives... they love to show their game day pride as well. Vineyard Vines offers not only a college collection of ties, totes, and boxers but they also have an NFL collection as well.

We can't forget the Panthers!!! Check out Vineyard Vines for other great NFL Ties.

Many colleges are now developing their own Official School Plaid. As a former merchandising apparel and textile student at Kentucky I was lucky to be apart of the design process of our Official UK Plaid. As you can see you can find everything from table cloths, koozies, ties, bags etc. Check out your University Store website to see what they have to offer!

Now we cant forget about our puppers!! I found a great site called doggienation.com

and they have all sports teams, great prices and products ranging from dog bowls, team jerseys, collars, and toys. Here is a Tennessee bandana and Panthers Jersey that I am sure Fenway will be sporting this fall!

Happy tailgating!
