Zubaz Gameday Guide
What to Wear to an Auburn Tigers Game
Jordan-Hare on a Saturday is 88,000 strong, humid and loud — and the eagle flies before every kickoff. Here's how Auburn fans dress for gameday on the Plains, in orange and navy that holds up from morning tailgate to War Eagle night.
This guide covers the full Auburn Tigers gameday uniform — what to wear to the stadium, what actually works in the Auburn weather, and what to pack for the tailgate. Every piece below is officially licensed Auburn Tigers gear, ships free in the lower 48, and is loud enough that your section will know whose side you're on.
Start with the pants. Always the pants.
Since 1988, Zubaz pants have been the gameday uniform for fans who show up loud. The Auburn Tigers zebra print is instantly recognizable across a parking lot, roomy enough to layer over thermals, and comfortable enough to wear from the 8 AM tailgate through the postgame traffic. If you only upgrade one piece of your gameday fit, this is it.
Dressing for the heat at Jordan-Hare Stadium
Auburn gamedays are a heat management problem, not a warmth problem. Early-season kickoffs can sit in the 90s with full sun, so think lightweight and breathable: a team t-shirt, shorts for the tailgate (or the classic pants if you're committing to the full look — they're roomier and more breathable than jeans), sunglasses, and a hat that keeps the sun off. Late-season night games cool off just enough that a light hoodie is worth having in the car.

The tailgate checklist
- The uniform: Auburn Tigers Zubaz pants + team top. Non-negotiable.
- Weather insurance: sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat — shade is scarce in the lot.
- Comfortable shoes: you'll be standing 6+ hours between lot and seats.
- Small clear bag: most college stadiums enforce a clear-bag policy — leave the backpack at the tailgate.
- Portable charger: mobile tickets die with your battery.
- Layers for the ride home: night games end colder than they start.
- The dog: if your four-legged fan is tailgating, get them a Auburn Tigers jersey or bandana. Instant lot celebrity.

Gameday FAQ
What do fans wear to a Auburn Tigers game?
Team colors, head to toe. The classic Auburn Tigers fan uniform is a jersey or team t-shirt up top and Zubaz zebra-print pants below — the look that's been in NFL parking lots since 1988. In the Auburn heat, lightweight tees, shorts and sunglasses are the norm for most of the season.
Is it cold at Jordan-Hare Stadium?
Almost never — heat is the bigger factor in Auburn. Early-season day games are hot and sunny; by December, evenings are pleasantly cool at most.
What is the bag policy at college stadiums?
Most college stadiums enforce a clear-bag policy: bags typically must be clear plastic no larger than 12" x 6" x 12", or a small clutch. Backpacks and large purses aren't allowed inside, so leave them at the tailgate or in the car.
Are Zubaz Auburn Tigers products officially licensed?
Yes — Zubaz is an official NCAA licensee, and every Auburn Tigers item we make is authentic licensed gear in true team colors. Shipping is free on every order in the 48 contiguous United States.
