Men all around the world, our most awaited season’s here! With autumn coming, the sports season is getting heated, and besides supporting our favorite team, there’s one more thing we have to do: equip ourselves so we can withstand the cold for however many hours it takes to cheer on like good supporters! And that’s what I’m here for: you bring the chants, I bring you the list of the most necessary items that you can’t forget, so let’s get this going!
Sports jerseys
What better way to keep yourself warm AND support your team than a sports jersey? Whether it’s a plain shirt or a full on jacket, a sports jersey is the first choice article our mind wanders to when thinking about what to wear during a game. It becomes a part of who we are, and for the following couple of hours, it defines who we are on the pitch and outside of it. Comfy, representative, distinguishable: what more could you want from it? Not to mention, it can even keep you warmer than your average shirt, so that’s always a plus!
A warm sweater
If you’re looking for something more affordable than your usual sports jersey, but can still keep you warm and not attract the fury of the fans, a warm jumper, for example a woolen Irish sweater as these https://www.tarairishclothing.com/collections/mens-knitwear is easily the way to go. Put it over a T-shirt, or pair it with a scarf with your team’s emblem and you’re good to go! Is it your desire to be warm and cozy while you cheer on your favorite players and have a pint while at it? Irish sweater. Are you overenthusiastic and are prone to spill some beer on yourself while celebrating the goal your team just scored? Don’t worry, because an Irish sweater made of special Merino wool can easily repel it, keeping you nice and dry for the rest of the game.
A good amount of cash
If you’re anything like me, you’re gonna want to enjoy the experience alongside a couple of friends and plenty of pints, and you’re gonna need some money for the second one. Most sports venues don’t really take card payments, so you don’t want to stay on dry land for the whole game. Make sure your pockets are ready, your friends are by your side and your lungs are prepared, because with the season coming to a heated close, and with the World Cup around the corner, you can’t know who’s gonna get their hands on the prize until the last second… And you wouldn’t want to be unprepared now, would you?
Snacks and plenty of water
We get it: during games, we all want to consist of approximately 30% beer and junk food while supporting our favorite team and although it does seem like a great idea at the moment, sadly we’re not 21 anymore and our bodies will not thank us later for that. Make sure to bring water and lots of nutritious snacks so that you won’t feel awful the next day. You obviously don’t need to bring containers with homemade ravioli to the stadium, but alternate the pizza and hot dogs with some nuts and protein bars: this should add at least some nutritional value to your meal for the day.
