As great as it was to have football to watch last night, we are going to be far happier in four Saturdays when college football is back in full swing.  In an effort to pass the time we’ve already started planning a few gameday looks for the upcoming season.  This year, we think it’s time to take the plunge and add a little bit of school spirit to our feet.  It’s taken some time for us to get up the nerve to wear “slippers,” but with school logos firmly embedded on the front, we have a feeling the University Logo Shoes from JP Crickets will be a gameday mainstay in no time flat.

With more than fifty schools in their collection, odds are JP Crickets has a pair of shoes for you.  Inspired by classic Prince Albert velvet slippers, these shoes are definitely a far cry from what many will be wearing to games this Fall, and to us that ups the appeal even more.  The whole idea behind the brand was to have a little fun showing some school spirit, so don’t take these shoes too seriously.  While velvet (some schools also available in suede and linen) may seem a bit formal, we’ll be wearing our JP Crickets proudly with everything from team colored pants to khaki shorts depending on the weather.  Made in Italy and featuring calf skin lining and leather soles, these shoes break in extremely well and will have you looking good from the first drink of the tailgate all the way through a victory celebration.
