LAST DAY TO VOTE FOR CLEMSON!; Wear Orange August 30

Clemson University is participating in the second annual College Colors Day spirit competition and is asking for fan support to help win the national Spirit Cup award, which includes $10,000 toward the general scholarship fund.  By visiting Facebook.com/CollegeColorsDay, Tiger fans can register to vote for Clemson as the school with the most college spirit and loyal fan base.

The Facebook-based rivalry competition, which includes more than 160 participating colleges and universities and is an element of this year’s 2013 College Colors Day celebration, kicks off Monday, August 12 and runs through 11:59 PM EST on Thursday, August 29.  Fans can vote once each day and can check who is winning the competition nationally and within each conference. The winner will be announced on College Colors Day on Friday, August 30.

Have you ever thought about wearing your game day apparel to class or the office? Could you ever imagine your colleagues chanting your team’s fight song during work hours or classmates arriving to class covered in orange and purple body paint? If you are looking for an excuse to support your team not only on game day, look no further than College Colors Day.  It’s so easy, anyone can do it.

Want to know how to participate?

On Friday, August 30, look into your wardrobe, throw on your Clemson gear and add some excitement to your day.  Show your school spirit by wearing anything orange and purple – and we mean anything: hats, earrings, T-shirts, ties, watches or something that shows support for your beloved Tigers.

Nothing to wear? No problem! Make a stop by the campus bookstore or local retailer for all of your College Colors Day needs.

Think of College Colors Day as an excuse to throw a preseason tailgate party, have a friendly inter-office competition between rival schools for the upcoming season, or just a reason to support the team that has brought you excitement over the years.  No matter what the reason, be sure to celebrate this national holiday with America’s 190 million college football fans and, wear your Clemson colors wherever you are, on Friday, August 30.

College Colors Day, which is organized by the Collegiate Licensing Company, LLC (CLC), an affiliate of IMG College, celebrates the kick-off of the college football season and promotes higher education – celebrating the achievements of colleges and universities by putting the spirit and traditions of the college experience at the center of national attention.
