There’s nothing quite like the excitement of College GameDay taking over your town. From the early morning crowds to the sea of posters waving in the background, the energy is unmatched. Whether you’re there to be front and center on ESPN, cheer on your school, or just soak in the atmosphere, here’s everything you need to know to make the most of it, Barefoot style.
What to Wear
If you’re going to College GameDay at the University of South Carolina, here’s what you should wear from Barefoot: start with one of our spirited Gamecock tees or tanks, add a clear crossbody bag, and finish with a USC hat to keep the sun out of your eyes while you cheer.
If College GameDay is at Florida State, we’ve got your Seminoles look ready. Think garnet and gold graphic tees, layered with a jacket for those early morning hours. Pair it with some fun earrings and a pair of sneakers that can handle a full day of walking.
Or maybe the spotlight is on Baylor University. In Waco, it’s all about green and gold, grab your Barefoot gameday tee, style it with denim shorts, and layer with a lightweight jacket in case the weather cools down. Don’t forget a clear stadium-approved bag, which not only looks cute but keeps you game-day ready.
Wherever College GameDay lands, Texas State, University of Texas, Sam Houston, Tarleton, Texas Tech, Iowa State, Abilene Christian, or Angelo State, Barefoot has the gameday outfits and accessories you need to stand out on screen and in the stands.
What to Bring
College GameDay is an all-day event, and being prepared makes it way more fun. A clear stadium bag is a must, and it’s the perfect place to keep your essentials. Pack sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat or visor to give yourself a little shade during the day. If you’re planning to line up early, snacks are your best friend while you wait for the cameras to roll. And of course, bring your team spirit gear, posters, pom poms, shakers, and anything that helps you cheer louder than the rest.
Poster Sign Ideas
The signs are half the fun of College GameDay, and they’re your chance to stand out in the crowd, or maybe even get on TV. Some fan-favorite classics include “Hi Dad! Send Money!” or “Saturdays Are For College GameDay.” If you want to be creative, think of a funny pun about your opponent, it always gets attention.
The College GameDay Experience
There’s nothing like being part of College GameDay in your own town. The energy starts building long before the sun rises, with fans lining the streets hours before the broadcast. Music blasts, bands march, and the crowd roars every time the cameras pan their way. When the celebrity guest picker takes the stage, the excitement hits its peak, and you realize you’re a part of one of college football’s most iconic traditions.
It’s not just about being on TV, it’s about being surrounded by school pride, unforgettable moments, and thousands of fans who love the game as much as you do.
