Across the United States on the first Friday of each college school year, students, parents, family, fans and alumni celebrate National College Colors Day. This day is annually celebrated by wearing your college’s (or the college you support) favorite colors and college/university apparel.
Don’t forget to have your student wear their favorite college t-shirt or college colors on Friday, September 2nd. We look forward to seeing many colleges represented throughout the school!
