How to dress for a Tulane game

Gameday in New Orleans, LA 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: Tulane Essentials Oversized Tee, Tulane Varsity Mesh Shorts, Tulane Green Wave Hat.
• Night game or late season: Throw a layer on top once the sun goes down. Wear: Tulane Varsity Hoodie, Tulane Varsity Mesh Shorts.
• Everyday on campus: Easy pieces for class, weekends and travel. Wear: Tulane Essentials Oversized Tee, Tulane Green Wave Hat.

Tulane 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.
