Zubaz Gameday Guide
What to Wear to an Oregon State Beavers Game
Reser Stadium football means Willamette Valley weather — dry and golden early, wet and gray by November, and Beavers fans show up either way. Here's how to dress for gameday in Corvallis, orange and black with a layer for the rain.
This guide covers the full Oregon State Beavers gameday uniform — what to wear to the stadium, what actually works in the Corvallis weather, and what to pack for the tailgate. Every piece below is officially licensed Oregon State Beavers 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 Oregon State Beavers 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 gameday at Reser Stadium
Corvallis weather plays it fair most of the season — warm early, crisp late, with the occasional wet one mixed in. The move is flexible layers: a team t-shirt base, Zubaz pants that work in any temperature, and a hoodie or light jacket you can add or shed as the day swings. Check the forecast the morning of and you'll rarely be caught out.

The tailgate checklist
- The uniform: Oregon State Beavers Zubaz pants + team top. Non-negotiable.
- Weather insurance: a hoodie or light jacket for when the sun drops.
- 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 Oregon State Beavers jersey or bandana. Instant lot celebrity.
Gameday FAQ
What do fans wear to a Oregon State Beavers game?
Team colors, head to toe. The classic Oregon State Beavers 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. Corvallis weather is changeable, so most fans bring a hoodie or light jacket they can add or shed.
Is it cold at Reser Stadium?
Rarely extreme. Corvallis late-season games get chilly, especially at night, but a good hoodie or jacket over your base layer usually covers it.
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 Oregon State Beavers products officially licensed?
Yes — Zubaz is an official NCAA licensee, and every Oregon State Beavers item we make is authentic licensed gear in true team colors. Shipping is free on every order in the 48 contiguous United States.
