Things to Know About Gameday Apparel
Although some fans may wear Alabama merch, you do not need to wear UA-branded apparel to show off your spirit on gamedays. Fans wear UA's school colors and even just a UA sticker or pin to cheer on the Tide, which is just as good. Another reminder is to make sure you are checking the weather when planning your gameday outfit. Tuscaloosa can be very hot and humid, especially for the games in the beginning of the football season, so make sure to dress accordingly. Likewise for the games at the end of the season, where temperatures can drop rapidly at night, making night games cold to be outside in.
