Now that it’s March – the watercooler talk is starting to buzz around college football and the upcoming March Madness national championship tournament.  Who will win the NCAA tournament this year – your alma mater, or will it be their biggest foe?  Will your in-state college prove themselves the best of the best and make you stand a little prouder?  Each year, 67 top NCAA teams are eliminated to leave one national college basketball champion – we hope that this will be your team’s year!  With good reason, you won’t want to miss any of the games!  To prepare, we sought out deals on apparel and gear appropriate for rooting on favorite teams across the nation.

Shop Anywhere!

It’s becoming more popular for a variety of retailers to offer fashionable apparel geared toward specific teams, whereas in the past team-branded apparel could only be found in sporting goods stores such as Finish Line and Footlocker, or specialty shops like LIDS.  And while we have plenty of deals for those stores, we thought we would tell you about some of the stores that have team-branded gear that you wouldn’t normally think of.  Old Navy has become a great spot to check for apparel with your favorite teams logo and colors. You can select from NCAA gear, but they also have a selection of NBA and NHL gear.  And once football starts up, you’re sure to find a variety of the best NFL team apparel at Old Navy.

Cute, Cuddly… Basketball?

If your honey won’t snuggle up and watch the games with you, JCPenney has a great solution – mascot Pillow Pets! You can cuddle up with the mascot of your favorite team and enjoy the game comfortably. They have almost every team mascot, and in addition to providing a comfortable spot to rest your head, these are a great conversation starter – make sure everyone knows what team you’re rooting on! They also have bedding, apparel, tailgate gear, and more!

Loud and Proud

If you’re headed to any of the games, or watching with friends – be sure to make it clear which team is going to win with a foamhead of your team’s mascot!  Kohl’s has these along with other great NCAA licensed fan gear, which you can save 20% on with our coupon code.

If you will be watching the games at home, a great addition to your man cave would be a Fathead of your team’s mascot or logo.  If you buy one Real.Big. NCAA Fathead, you will save 50% off a college Fathead with our deal. It’s the perfect way to complete your sport team-themed room!

Soon it will be time to get started on your bracket, but for now – plan your parties based on the game schedule (don’t forget the menu!) and make sure your team makes it to the top! Good luck!
