Putting Together Great Hurricane Outfits

Who doesn’t love a Hurricane?

I love going to Hurricane football games- there is nothing like game day. HaveUHeard how UM got its colors? In 1926, UM, chose its colors based on the Florida orange tree – the orange was chosen to symbolize the fruit of an orange tree, the green represents the leaves and the white, the blossoms. I’m all about the Orange & Green on game days but I am also about fashion. I want to be comfortable, especially on those Florida humid days when it’s more than 90° out and the humidity is stifling.

As Game Day gets closer, UM will announce what colors students are expected to wear. For example, they may announce that a game will have a “green-out” or an “orange-out.” Want to know the actual primary colors- UM gives you the graphic versions.

We think the best in authentic college clothing, accessories, and fan gear is Fanatics. They carry brands such as Jordan Gear, Vineyard Vines, Stance, Columbia, Dooney & Bourke, Tommy Bahama, Vera Bradley, Orca, Southern Tide, College Row One Shoes, Johnnie-O Clothing, and Peter Millar Clothing. Add in everything you need for tailgating including NCAA tents, tables, and chairs, waterless face tattoos, eye black, jewelry, and more.

For shorts or jeans (only if it is cool out- even ’70s will still be hot in South Florida), I like American Eagle’s mom jeans or denim shorts. I’ve also found some very cool retro Hurricane outfits on American Eagle’s tailgate website. If wearing a comfortable dress is the way you want to go, definitely check out some of these fun Game Day dresses from Redbubble. We have also found a good selection at Kohls.

If you are a Lilly fan, they’ve got some fun green colored dresses that can work for gameday

If you are like me and more about ‘repping the school’s colors, just look for orange or green. There are some private online stores that specialize in Game Day Attire that we like:

Throw in some accessories including a regulation stadium bag from SCORE! The Official Game Day bag (you even get a 15% discount- get code by clicking on the link), cute orange, and green earrings and everyone will know you love the Canes!

We would strongly recommend leaving the high heels at home as you will be walking a good distance to the stadium (unless you were lucky enough to get there many, many hours in advance and snag a great parking spot) and climbing stands. I love wearing Converse sneakers or Adidas Stan Smith, depending on my outfit. For cooler weather, I even have worn flat boots.
