With March Madness at an end, some Badgers are beginning to hang up their game day clothes until next fall. However, don’t forget about the lesser-known—but just as fun —spring sports. Whether you’re heading to a softball game or a tennis match, Badger gear is always required to cheer our teams on.
Spring game day attire is drastically different. This is the time to whip out those cute Bucky tanks that you were only able to wear to the first tailgate in the first week of September. For those of you that cut your red and white stripe overalls into shorts, this is the time to grab them from the back of your closet.
For those less adventurous, try pairing a cute red tank with a pair of black shorts for a great outfit. Even if it’s a little chilly, you can still rock a red and black flannel shirt over the tank top for an extra layer. That’s the difference between the spring and fall tailgates. Rather than bundling up in sweatshirts and extra layers, a simple flannel can do the trick around this time of year. If your legs are still cold, try a pair of Wisconsin high socks to cover up some more skin. These socks come in a variety of styles so be sure to pick the one you like best.
Rather than wearing a cute winter hat with a pom-pom on top, you can now look to new options for the warmer weather. Try rocking a baseball had or a flat brim hat for a new look. Backward or forward, these hats are always a great choice for game day. If you’re feeling a little girly or don’t want to mess up your hair, you can always go with a bow. The University Bookstore sells a variety of bows with Bucky on them as well as simple red and white bows. If you’re looking for something even more basic, American Apparel sells solid red bows as well.
In the spring, you have the opportunity to display your style while still showing spirit. Whether you choose a Badger tank tucked into a cute pair of high-waisted shorts or you craft an new DIY shirt at home using an old T-shirt, this is the time to show who you are. Without having to bundle up to stay warm, you can let your Badger style come through for the next spring game day.
