Cheer for the Orange & Blue [J. Crew sale]

College football reigns in the South, , and Florida is no exception. But we don’t just rep our universities at tailgates. From conference rooms to pub crawls to advisory boards to College Day at the Capitol to college friends’ weddings, alumni wear their colors proudly – and in color cases like ours (orange and blue), loudly – year round. And in those cases, a t-shirt from Fanatics.com isn’t going to cut it.

Alumni from places with easy color combos, like Georgia (red & black), Alabama (crimson & white) or Ole Miss (navy blue and red), might not be on a constant hunt. But when your school’s colors are a very specific deep orange and a very specific royal blue, you can’t just run out at a moment’s notice and be sure to find the perfect outfit.

So even though we’re three months out from college football season, when we see a sale that’s overflowing with college color goodness, we’re shopping. Enter J. Crew’s Extra 40% Off Sale Styles sale. Here are some of our favorite selections. True, we’re heavy on Gator colors, but we’re sharing the orange with our Auburn & Miami friends.

And just to show there’s solidarity in fashion, we’ll even share this link for some good Florida State options – even if it causes us some physical pain…
