Game Day Outfit Ideas & DIY Football Shirts

When it comes to your game day outfit, start with plain t-shirts, then customize with iron-on decals, or use a Cricut machine for perfectly cut football team logos and slogans. Coordinate color palettes or tie-dye kits in school or team colors. While you’re in the crafty zone, try turning plain fabrics into large football flags and banners using fabric paints and markers.
