The jersey of your favorite player, freshly groomed pencil line beard, flat bill fitted hat/ a snap back is also acceptable to go along with jeans or school color shorts of some sort will never go out of style and always be acceptable.


Maybe in Arkansas
Do y'all even have fraternities?
You literally went wrong with everything.. Pencil lined beard? WTF sports a chin strap.. Jersey? Are we six years old?.. I hope your joking about flat bills.. Jeans? I can only assume you purchased yours at Wal Mart.

Leave the Purina checker boards alone.

So midfield logos will now have the 50 yard line marker running through them?

That rule doesn't seem to apply here - but even if it did I would find it hard to believe they would enforce it in these circumstances... And good luck forcing Tennessee to comply and willingly do away with one of its most iconic trademarks.

Reread #2. It does not apply to Tennessee's checkers.

Yes, but only those in said fraternities are required to walk around looking like douchebags, no one else is required to dress like them.

And by wearing a jersey and sporting a flat bill, chinstrap combo you escape looking like a douchebag? hahaha only in Arkansas.

Go to any major sporting event, the NFL, NBA, MLB, etc and you will see what the proper fan attire is, if you've only experienced low level FBS football like Ole Miss, you have not had the proper sports culture experience to give an adequate opinion in this matter.

I assure you I have been to plenty major sporting events. And yes jerseys are worn plenty by fans, mostly between the ages of 5 and 14. I am hoping this is some 14 year old kid I am to that will eventually grow out of this stage of his life. Also, low level FBS? I can see last year still stings.

That would be a real shame if they made the vols do away with the checkerboard. That is such a recognizable and original endzone that has nothing to do with affecting performance in any way. NCAA needs to get real.

As you will see, I said MOSTLY. Yes, their are fans who sport jerseys, and most of them are at professional games. As for for a college game, look anywhere in the SEC and you will see 90% of the population not sporting a jersey. Even the guys not in fraternities can afford to purchase a gameday polo to look like a respectable adult.

Well, I would hope so since a gameday polo is cheaper than an authentic gameday worn jersey.

So you are saying you wear polos because you can't afford the real jersey.

Sorry for being poor.
