Light Up a Logo

Fan the flames of school spirit with fire pits featuring team logos and names by Patina Products. Prices range from $249-$349 at various online retailers.

Gnome Fans

If you believe gnomes bring good luck, support your team from afar with a sports-themed gnome in your yard. Or maybe you'll need different teams represented if your home has split allegiances. The Syracuse and LSU gnomes are $14.95; other teams are available.

Quaint Cooler

When watching a game outdoors, this wood cooler with galvanized metal on the inside can bring a vintage vibe to tailgating. Also comes in Florida Gators, Arkansas Razorbacks and Texas A&M motifs, $169.99 at The Home Depot.

At the Curb

Sometimes it doesn’t take a massive flag to signal your collegiate fervor. A flag hanging from the mailbox can do the trick. The Maryland flag – which can also hang from a pole in a garden or along a walkway – is priced at $14.95.

Feather Flag

Team flags come in all shapes and sizes. This feather-shaped flag is a bit unexpected and can fly in the wind. The 44-inch Auburn Tigers Feather Flag is mounted on a 5-foot pole. $36.99 (other teams available).

Geaux with a Gnome

Grow your gnome collection – or start one – with one designed to look like your favorite team's mascot and in your team colors. The 11.5-inch LSU Tigers NCAA Garden Gnome Statue is priced for $24.97 (other teams available).

Porch Accessory

Hanging lawn ornaments can tout team love from porches, pergolas and other outdoor spots. The Texas Longhorns ornament has a kid theme and is priced at $29.95.

Cheerful Chime

A wind chime likely won’t blast a team’s fight song, but it can add soft tones and school spirit to a yard. The Georgia Bulldogs wind chime is priced at $39.99 (other teams available).

Quirky Design

Cutout letters can make a flag stand out from those flying in your neighbors’ yards. The Kentucky Wildcats sculpted flag is priced at $19.95 (other teams available).

Chevron style

A cute chevron pattern can be part of your collegiate outdoor gear, with a door hanger for front, back or side entryways. The Mississippi State Chevron Burlee (other teams are available) is $50 from Glory Haus.

A Stake in the Team

Add even a small touch of team spirit to a garden with gnome plant pick stakes in school colors. Each stake is $5.10, one of the cheapest college items for the outdoors.

For the Birds

Team colors often are vibrant, which can add a splash of color to a garden or in a wooded landscape. The Virginia Tech glass birdbath has the team logo embossed in maroon and orange. $32.99 (other teams available).

Bold Garden Flag

Enhance a walkway or garden pathway with a vivid team flag. The USC Trojans Garden Flag is 13-by-18 inches and hangs vertically. $14.95 (other teams available).

Mailbox Makeover

Cover your mailbox with school pride. The Texas A&M magnetic mailbox cover boasts the team logo and colors and comes with stickers to display your house number. $19.95 (other teams available).

Dressing Up the Grill

Replace a basic grill cover with one designed to replicate a football jersey, with many teams available. The grill covers, made of polyvinyl, are $42.

Tailgate Sign

Bring back the memories with your collegiate outdoor decor. The Michigan Tailgate Sign is just one of the wooden boards with school mottos and messages made by Glory Haus ($37.50 on GloryHaus.com).
