How to dress for an FIU game

Gameday in Miami, FL usually means heat, especially early in the season, so build around breathable pieces and save the hoodie for night games and the cooler weeks late in the year.

• Early-season day game: Keep it light and breathable, and add a hat to block the sun. Wear: FIU Panthers Essentials Oversized Tee, FIU Mesh Shorts | Exclusive, FIU Panthers Hat.
• Night game or late season: Throw a layer on top once the sun goes down. Wear: FIU Panthers Varsity Hoodie, FIU Mesh Shorts | Exclusive.
• Everyday on campus: Easy pieces for class, weekends and travel. Wear: FIU Panthers Essentials Oversized Tee, FIU Panthers Hat.

FIU tailgate essentials

Tailgates are long, so comfort matters as much as color. Mesh shorts are the easiest piece to live in all day, an oversized tee layers over anything, and a hat handles sun and bad hair days alike. If the game runs late, toss the hoodie in the car.

Why the FIU logo is upside down

The upside-down print is UPSIDE's signature. It flips tradition for fans who want their FIU pride to look different from what everyone else bought at the bookstore, while staying officially licensed. Read more about the meaning behind upside-down apparel, or see the FIU collection launch.
