My Friday’s Fancies: Football Frenzy

Excuse me while I get up on my soapbox for a minute, but I have some pretty strong feelings about football style. While I support the color pink as a symbol of breast cancer research, I believe it has no other place on sports apparel. There is not a single college or professional team that includes pink among its colors, and therefore, we should not be wearing it. I understand that some women like to wear team pieces that are more feminine and fit their bodies better, and I totally agree. But, wear the team colors. I should also mention that I love football and have been a diehard New England Patriots fan my entire life. I own quite the collection of Pats apparel. A lot of it is from the boys department, because I’ve found it fits me better, but lately I’ve been leaning towards the (non-pink) selections from the ladies section. I have been known to go all out on game days, even though I live in New York, but here’s a more subtle look. I chose a simple baseball tee with the throwback logo, and paired it with some navy cords and red laceless sneaks. I got the custom tote (also seen here) as a birthday present a couple of years ago, and I absolutely love it!

Cords: Old Navy, Tee: Patriots Pro Shop, Sneakers: Sperry via Zappos, Tote: Vineyard Vines

    • Glad I’m not alone on my soapbox! I think it bothers me so much because I truly love and understand football. To me, clothes like that symbolize certain assumptions about women. But anyway, thanks for commenting and GO PATS!!
