What are you a fan of?

I am certainly a fan of many tequila brands but I won’t mention any [specifically] because I don’t want to get in trouble. I'm obviously a college sports fan. I live in a college town, so I'm a fan of 3 different universities, for different reasons. 

  1. The University of Arizona, where I matriculated. 

  2. University of Nebraska, I'm from Lincoln and my parents went there 

  3. Indiana University, where I live. 

All 3 schools have manifestly terrible football teams. So, I've got fan gear from all of them.

 

What is your favorite piece of Fanwear you own?

I have a University of Arizona basketball warm up jacket. That was issued the year that the team won the national championship. So, it's definitely vintage and super cool, and it's team official. so it's really high quality and still fits, which is something. You know you can't just like wear a warm up shooting jacket to anywhere, right? So, that's one that's pretty rare. And I really like it.
