Infograph: How College Football Fans Dress by Region

When I saw this infograph detailing the regional attire trends of American college football tailgaters, I immediately thought of you guys and all the fashionista-driven shit you sling at each other. If nothing else, this will provide you assholes some more ammo to use, but I think you’ll enjoy it. It’s really well done.

The infograph is done by T.K. Roosevelt. Now, I have a qualm or two with the getup of the South Region fella, but by and large, I think he does a pretty good job.

Every year, fans across the nation gather for the finest tailgating in the country. NCAA® Football Fans across America have traits and styles that are specific to the regions where their schools are located. Some styles have become tradition and some, for better or worse, will pass within a year or two.

Using the latest data available on the internet and fan submissions from RSVLTS.com, we’ve teamed up with Wheat Thins to launch the Bold Tailgate Awards. Our NCAA® Football Fan analysts have dissected each region’s style to give you a detailed look at college football trends across America.

    Pretty much everyone that goes to a school in Texas wear whitewash wranglers and boots to tailgate

      Agreed. guys – whitewash Wranglers and boots are usually accompanied by either a polo or PFG. girls – *see Southeast*

      Horseshit! Big Ten schools do it best with those bad boys. At IU, win or lose, we’re gonna booze.

      Yeah apparently the ban was as effective or enforced as much as “no drinking in greek housing.”

      Temporarily. Another case of “we need to curb [party-related bad thing] so we’re looking for a bad guy, so… Greek system”

      I wont give him anything. NW wasn’t even close. Why the fuck would we wear football gloves at a tailgate? Well maybe Boise state fans…

    These are pretty innacurate. If you’re in the Mid-Atlantic, South, or Southwest, and not a geed, you probably dress pretty well to games. If you’re from Cali or the Northeast, you probably dress like a clown regardless.

    They really fucked these region names up. The “Southeast” is just called The South. Texas is Texas. The other states can fuck off.

      Second. The South is basically everything between Austin and Atlanta. And that’s being generous.
