When I saw this infograph detailing the regional attire trends of American college football tailgaters, I immediately thought of you guys and all the fashionista-driven shit you sling at each other. If nothing else, this will provide you assholes some more ammo to use, but I think you’ll enjoy it. It’s really well done.
The infograph is done by T.K. Roosevelt. Now, I have a qualm or two with the getup of the South Region fella, but by and large, I think he does a pretty good job.
Every year, fans across the nation gather for the finest tailgating in the country. NCAA® Football Fans across America have traits and styles that are specific to the regions where their schools are located. Some styles have become tradition and some, for better or worse, will pass within a year or two.
Using the latest data available on the internet and fan submissions from RSVLTS.com, we’ve teamed up with Wheat Thins to launch the Bold Tailgate Awards. Our NCAA® Football Fan analysts have dissected each region’s style to give you a detailed look at college football trends across America.

Fuck the Mid-atlantic. Cargos GDI
^gets it.
Dungarees? I thought those were the cookies you dip in icing.
^^HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA fuckin idiot
That would be a dunkaroo
So uhh, did anyone else notice that we just read a giant fucking Wheat Thins ad?
Whomever created this had an extremely fucked up sense of geography.
Seriously though, I’m tired of my region getting called something different every time. Call it BFE, I don’t care, just some consistency would be nice.
^ This
So this just further proves my point that California and the rest of the West is not as Geedy as most of you fucks in the East. Sweet jeans though South
^^ Midwest is NF, northeast is probably frattier then us
You are one dumb motherfucker if you seriously think that the gameday attire choice of the West is not geedy. Even the North and the Midwest are frattier than you, and that’s saying something.
^ Ha, take a deep breath bud.
Hey, Mr. Southeast’s shorts are too long. NF.
Nice cargo shorts Mid Atlantic. Glad I live in Texas.
Fuck Mid ATL

Texas, TFM
Southeast was pretty close but I’ll stick with my red pants and black blazer
Black blazer and red pants? Come to Ole Miss we’ll show you how to really dress.
Oh right because red pants and a navy blazer are so different. I do actually want to tailgate at the grove at some point in my life.
The two women in the Southeast graphic are perfect examples of the contrast between a sorostitute and a GDI.
Another reason why the southeast is the best.
This is the most awful and inaccurate column I’ve ever seen. Fuck off, Dorn.
^^ weak come back Dorn. Did you shave the stash off?
^ *?
^^^Got ’em. And ^is November over yet? No, so why would he shave off any *’stache? You fool.
Didn’t write it, you little turd.
^Zinger!
^You’re in high school, why are you talking.
There is college football in the Northeast?
No, their “football” is our soccer
OH GOD LETS ALL GET SUPER DEFENSIVE OVER A WHEAT THINS MARKETING CAMPAIGN
Sarcasm. Its a TFM.
They really fucked these region names up. The “Southeast” is just called The South. Texas is Texas. The other states can fuck off.
I agree.
Second. The South is basically everything between Austin and Atlanta. And that’s being generous.
^ except Austin is full of Liberals…
Tucked-in tee, really?
As a tailgater in the south, I can honestly say that the few people who dress like that to games are usually the ones who have no reason to be there. The majority of the tailgating population here dresses more like the southeast
^
^
Boots and jeans or you’re a pussy.
^^ shut the fuck up, slut
^^ and ^^^
Tits or GTFO
^^^^^^^Go fuck yourself you jealous cum depository.
Wanna be^
I like whatever Jenn Sturger wears.
^ try harder…
These comments will be full of people trying to pretend like they’re in the SEC.
You aren’t. You’re shit. Fuck off.
And if you wear a fishing shirt to a tailgate, similarly fuck off.
^geed
The fishing shirt can be pulled off, but most people just look retarded wearing one
How do people always fuck up the “midwest” region. Anyways, the dress for kansas st (south, wtf) is pretty spot on for my school. As for ku, I don’t think they got a large enough sample size of tailgaters to affect anything.
This is like listening to two retards argue over who’s smarter.
Dude, you go to K State. Your fucking QB who is a Heisman frontrunner, national collegiate celebrity, and future NFL backup QB, used all of that power to hold a girls hand and peck her lips. If Colin Klein can’t get laid at that poor excuse of a woodshed that you call a University, how do you expect us to take your standard of what is and isn’t a Tailgate with any shed of seriousness?
Nice english brohawk, dear lord. No wonder ku’s enrollment continues to decline.
Yes, Collin Klein getting laid and tailgating have a direct correlation. He’s probably getting laid more than you anyways (marital sex FTW?)
We seem to believe football has no importance. It pisses me off. And we’re getting ready to do a $200 million renovation and do away with the track.
You know what, why don’t you just shut the fuck up. You’ve obviously never experienced game day north and west of the stadium in Lawrence.
“KansasIsFrat” But bro, K-State has all those national championships K-State has makes them the best.
Then how come you still play football in what looks like a high school stadium? Seriously, you have a track around your football field. Meanwhile, us “hayseeds” are adding a 75 million dollar expansion. Use some of that extra endowment and try not to embarrass the rest of the Big 12 with that dump you call a football stadium.
Both kansas schools are fucking pathetic at football with shitty all time records and small ass stadiums.
Brohawk, let’s not forget how relevant their program was before Snyder’s dusty balls took over. Such a storied program.
Didn’t say it was an accurate description of mine. I definitely don’t abide by the “tuck”.
“KansasIsFrat”- If you call tailgating a disbursement of mediocre house parties, yes I have been tailgating in those areas. Also, your name sounds like a pathetic attempt at validation, typical ku.
^^ This coming from the guy who admits that the tucked in tee-shirt is an accurate description of his game day attire. TTheRingerM
Our enrollment is actually up this year, and still about 6,500 higher than yours. Not to mention our endowment is roughly 3 times KState’s. Swing and a miss, champ.
And not a single bowtie was seen that day. T.K. Roosevelt, although having a FAF last name, needs to be hazed more.
These are pretty innacurate. If you’re in the Mid-Atlantic, South, or Southwest, and not a geed, you probably dress pretty well to games. If you’re from Cali or the Northeast, you probably dress like a clown regardless.
I’m referring clearly to the fraternity populations, you cock gobbling fuck face. Obviously your average person on game day looks like the infograph

Survey seems to disagree. Go fuck yourself.
Wheat Thins. TFCracker.
Only with a nice spread.
^Nutella for example.
Virginia is not the mid Atlantic
The Rat Pack Super Pact has begun
*PAC, laps.
I fucking hate the Midwest…… Better than north east tho
I’ll just meander over and take this one for the team #1
I’d like to thank the future assassins of Big O.
^Bojangles FaF
Fuckin’ southeast you shit lovers!
Southwest sorosties for the win. Our guy looks like a pure geed though, god damnit.
But B would take his spot…could be even worse
Mid Atlantic is the most geed…sad..Southwest girls are the best
^ YMBNH
South East is most frat!
Pretty much everyone that goes to a school in Texas wear whitewash wranglers and boots to tailgate
Agreed. guys – whitewash Wranglers and boots are usually accompanied by either a polo or PFG. girls – *see Southeast*
^^^ Couldn’t agree more. Except for those Texas State and UNT queers
^^This. Bleached Wranglers or GTFO
The SEC even dresses the best and cant beat them southern sorority girls. WDE
thanks for firing me assholes…
^
I go to a Midwest school and can tell you girls dress NOTHING like that for games, at least not in greek life. Only queers from Michigan and Indiana wear those goddamn overalls.
I’ve seen many a Badger fan in the red and white overalls.
Pretty sure that’s their mascot
*University of Michigan
and yeah, that was about as accurate as Texans loving the tucked-in tee.
disagree with this, most of the big ten schools wear overalls and pretty much everyone wears sweatshirts to games. I don’t but its definitely the vast majority.
^ You must go somewhere like Iowa then.
haha eat shit mid atlantic
Anything above Fredricksburg is considered NOVA. Below that is the real Virginia, which is where the Southern roots are. Schools like UVA, Washington and Lee, Hamdpen-Sydney, and University of Richmond are all schools that dress in accordance with how the SEC dresses.
In their defense, they are from Virgina.
As a Maryland student, I do not tailgate dressed like the fucking geed in the infograph. Some of Maryland does, but you go to the greek tailgates like that, and you won’t be let in.
^As a proud Virginian I support this statement. Actually, some parts of NOVA don’t dress like that, just the really shitty poor parts. I think of anything north of Fairfax as NOVA. McLean is an exception.
Maybe the people from Northern Virginia dress like that. NOVA is nothing like the rest of Virginia. Pennsylvania, Maryland, and NOVA can be classified as Mid-Atlantic, but I assure you that the rest of Virginia does not dress like that to tailgate.
Yeah, NOVA is a completely different world. As a Stafford native(NOVA) now in northeast Tennessee, I definitely see anything south of Fredericksburg and all the way down to the corner where Bristol is as part of the southeast.
^As a native of the Gainesville/Haymarket area in Prince William, I would like to disagree. Around my parts it is very much southern and country, but I definitely see where you are coming from. I retract my previous statement. Fuck NOVA, even though my area is “considered” NOVA.
^^ HSC*
Numerous greek organizations were founded at UVA. I cannot speak for VTech, which admittedly doesn’t have an particularly enviable greek scene, but at UVA you clearly see a dedication to traditional SEC-style game wear. Girls come in sundresses and the men in with coats and ties. Also, NOVA is actually the source for most preppy style. Tellingly, NOVA produces the most chapter Presidents, members, and revenue for the UVA greek system. The only other school I would consider analyzing would be HSU and W&L, but I imagine their greek members also are Fairfax, McLean, and Alexandria heavy. The rest of Virginia, south of Woodbridge, etc., does not actually have too much of a definitive character.
The guy from the Southeast stands like a queer.
^^^ winning an ACC championship is like being crowned the world’s tallest midget, big Fuckin deal. SEC all day
He’s also the only one drinking alcohol.
^^^^Too bad he’s probably fucking your sister.

The South is completely inaccurate. We don’t dress like hicks or redneck white trash. Plus he got the regions totally wrong.
Tits or GTFO.
Oh, they’re there.
This is so fucking true for the midwest, even greeks dress like fucking geeds here at OSU but we are trying to change that at the moment
So basically everyone except the south and southeast are GDI’s.
Well played T.K. Roosevelt.
Midwest and Southeast are pretty accurate. Except for the overalls, who the fuck wears overalls anywhere?
MMMM cargo shorts for the mid atlantic, i guess the northeast is just…casual…
I’ll give it to him. Southwest was spot on
I wont give him anything. NW wasn’t even close. Why the fuck would we wear football gloves at a tailgate? Well maybe Boise state fans…
i read Bro Bible too
Why?
Nothing kills a boner faster than those ugly overalls.
Temporarily. Another case of “we need to curb [party-related bad thing] so we’re looking for a bad guy, so… Greek system”
Yeah apparently the ban was as effective or enforced as much as “no drinking in greek housing.”
Horseshit! Big Ten schools do it best with those bad boys. At IU, win or lose, we’re gonna booze.
Didn’t IU ban handles at tailgates
