The Ultimate Game Day Outfit Guide for Babies and Toddlers
There’s nothing cuter than a tiny fan decked out in team colors on game day. Whether you’re tailgating, watching from the couch, or headed to the stadium, getting your baby or big kid, game-day-ready is half the fun of the weekend.
As a Knoxville-based brand, we live and breathe game day culture. We designed our entire Game Day collection because we couldn’t find what we were looking for: team-spirited kids’ clothes that were actually comfortable, well-made, and cute enough to wear beyond Saturday.
The Night-Before Game Day PJs
Game day excitement starts the night before. Our Orange and White Checkerboard bamboo pajamas have become a game day eve tradition for Tennessee families. Kids go to bed in their team colors and wake up already in the spirit. The bamboo fabric keeps them comfortable all night, and honestly? They’re so cute most parents let them keep wearing them all day long.
The convertible footie style works perfectly for babies- the double zipper makes middle-of-the-night diaper changes easy, and the foldable cuffs mean they’ll fit for months longer than a standard footie.
Game Day Morning: The Team Tee
For toddlers and bigger kids, a great team tee is the foundation of any game day outfit. Our Vintage Game Day tees come in orange and white and pair perfectly with jeans, shorts, or leggings depending on the season.
Pro tip: Layer with one of our organic cotton sweatshirts for fall games. The “Tennessee Bows” sweatshirt is a fan favorite for girls, and our standard game day tees are unisex and run true to size.
What to Wear to the Stadium vs. the Watch Party
Going to the game? Layer up. Stadiums are unpredictable- morning games can start chilly and end hot, and night games get cold fast. Our game day tees under our organic cotton sweatshirts give you a versatile combo that adapts throughout the day.
Watching at home or at a friend’s? This is where the bamboo pajama game day outfit truly shines. There’s no rule that says your toddler can’t cheer in team-colored PJs from the couch. In fact, we’d argue that’s the best way to watch.
Game Day Outfit Ideas by Age
• Newborn (0–6 months): Checkerboard bamboo footie + matching bow headband. That’s it. Perfection.
• Baby (6–12 months): Team bodysuit + soft pants. Keep it simple and comfortable —
they’re going to spit up on it anyway.
• Toddler (1–3 years): Game day tee + jeans or leggings + sneakers. Add a sweatshirt for
outdoor games.
• Big Kid (4–8 years): Vintage game day tee + their choice of bottoms. Let them have a
say- they’ll wear it more proudly.
Beyond Football: Game Day for Every Sport
Our She’s Got Game collection is perfect for families who are into more than just football. With a sporty design featuring balls and bows, it works for soccer families, baseball families, basketball families- any family that loves game day. The bamboo fabric means it’s comfortable enough for actual play, not just watching.
Whether your family bleeds orange and white or just loves cheering on any team, there’s
something special about getting the whole crew dressed up and ready to go. It’s a tradition that makes game day even more fun- and gives you photos you’ll treasure forever.
