Get ready for kickoff with game day jewelry, tailgating essentials, and style picks that show true Birmingham spirit. From the quad to the stadium to a backyard watch party, Bromberg’s has elevated ideas for a game day outfit, a winning tablescape, and thoughtful accessories—all inspired by local favorites across Birmingham sports.
Rep the Home Team, the Elevated Way
Game day style can be spirited and refined. Think subtle team color nods, polished metals, and pieces that transition from tailgate to dinner.
Game Day Outfit: Birmingham Spirit, Elevated
- Color story first: Anchor looks with rich greens (UAB Blazers), navy (Samford Bulldogs), crimson (Alabama Crimson Tide), or black/white (Birmingham Barons), depending on the team.
- Smart layers: A crisp button-down, sweater vest, or refined tee under a lightweight jacket keeps things versatile.
- Finish strong: Leather sneakers or loafers, a tailored cap, and a sleek belt pull it together.
Game Day Jewelry & Accessories
Layer color, texture, and meaning with pieces that wear well all season.
- Bangle or cuff stack: Mix metals with enamel or stone accents in team colors.
- Pendant or charm: Initials, dates, or a subtle icon charm add sentiment.
- Studs or small hoops: Understated sparkle that plays well with jerseys and scarves.
- Watches: A classic dial or sport model pairs perfectly with the day’s look.
- For him: Tie bars, cufflinks, leather bracelets, or a clean chain for easy polish.
Tip: Build a capsule of game day accessories that mix and match—one bold piece + two everyday staples.
Tailgating Essentials & Tailgate Party Ideas
Set a tablescape that feels Pinterest-ready and stadium-practical.
- Serveware that travels: Shatter-resistant acrylic stemware, melamine plates, and nesting bowls in team hues.
- Textiles with personality: Monogrammed napkins, striped runners, and throw blankets for cooler evenings.
- Centerpiece, simplified: A galvanized tray with florals or greenery, battery candles, and a small pennant.
- Hydration station: Beverage tub, labeled mixers, and reusable stir sticks—color-coded, of course.
- Pack smart: Collapsible bins, insulated carriers, and a compact tool kit (opener, tongs, wipes).
- Tailgate party ideas: create a “color bar” with garnishes (lime, blueberry, cherry) to echo team colors; set a photo spot with a mini chalkboard for score predictions; send guests home with a cookie wrapped in the team palette.
