How to Rep Your Sport Even When It’s Cold
Stay sporty and cozy at the same time
The weather outside is veering toward frightful, which means it’s time to snuggle up on the couch, preferably in front of a roaring fire. Aside from the obvious (snacks and a TV to watch whatever game is on), here’s everything you’ll need.
Must-Wear
Around here, autumn is sweater weather, and we found some for you to wear no matter which team you’re cheering for.
Looking for something simple and a little vintage-inspired? Old Time Hockey has a sweatshirt like this one in stock right now for almost every NHL team (sorry, Toronto Maple Leafs, Pittsburgh Penguins, and L.A. Kings fans). They’re fleece-lined too — just because the players are on the ice doesn’t mean the fans have to freeze! One of these can be yours for $74.99.
In the holiday spirit already? Klew has a fantastic line of ugly sweaters with just about any logo you could want, whether it’s an NFL, NBA, MLB or college team (and even a couple NHL). They’ve got several different styles, so you’re sure to find at least one to wear enthusiastically and un-ironically. Regular price for is $69.99, but most are on sale right now for at least $10 less.
Want something a little more luxe? Cashmere specialist brand The Elder Statesman is partnering with the NBA for a line of luxury hats, scarves, T-shirts and sweaters (latter pictured below). You’ll be paying a pretty penny for these — the hats are $420, and the sweaters themselves are $1,620. They’ll be available at Barneys New York starting tomorrow, Nov. 4, and eventually will be sold directly by The Elder Statesman online as well.
Must-Read
No game on? Curl up with the next book on our reading list: Game Changers: The Unsung Heroines of Sports History. Ladies blazing trails and proving that any sport men can do, women can do just as well, if not better? We’re all about it. If there’s a younger person in your life you know would love this, Level the Playing Field: The Past, Present, and Future of Women’s Pro Sports is soon to be released as well.
Must-Have
Whether you’re flipping channels or turning pages, the best accompaniment on a cold day is a hot drink. We’ve got just the mug for that. In keeping with our historical-vintage theme, we’re loving these Patent Prints mugs featuring sketches of sports equipment. Get one for just $15.99.
