Getting my Marie Kondo on and doing some house organization and purging this week while I'm off. I always enjoy looking back at old gear or mementos from time passed and reflecting back on when and where I got it. A lot of these were simply purchased on the novelty of the item and being excited to see a UCF logo in the wild. Here are some of my favorites.
First UCF hat I bought in 2005 freshman year. If you asked me the Knight head logo I absolutely love, it's this one. I could see this on the 50 and rival the lizards logo on cleanness. Hat has held up to a lot of road games as a throwback of sorts. When we rebranded in 2007 I was all in on new merch. Joust UCF logo makes me smile in how far we have really come.
I bought this tie in an Atlanta Cracker Barrel in 2009. I was so excited to see my school along the myriad of UGA, Tech, Clemson and Gator ties. Remember paying $20 for it and the cashier asking why I'd "want to wear a Central Florida tie. This for a losing bet?" I'll admit its a fugly tie but I loved that my school was represented.
My Russell Athletics bootleg Dr-fit. Bought this is a gas station in Ft. Pierce heading down to Miami for for a long weekend with friends in 2017. I wanted a Columbia or PFG fishing shirt before the trip as we were gonna take the boat out one day. In my quest for a a date with Earl of Sandwich and an inevitable bathroom break, I saw this beauty. Simple branding and pretty quality for Russell. For October games I rock this with a beisbol cap and some boat shoes and I'm cozy.
This is completely out of left field. 2013 War on I-4 fell on my 26th Birthday. I am blessed every 6 years with my birthday falling on Black Friday. My sister was a freshman at south florida so we were truly a house divided. My middle school aged cousins all wore respective gear and bamboozled me out of $50 for LIGHT UP UCF and were snagging cooler Lime-a-Ritas. Blackmailed me as I said I wasn't drinking with them too much and they proceeded to get a picture of me funneling LOL. We win that night and I take them all to Dave N Busters. We pooled all our winnings and got this plush hand to celebrate the win and it was gifted to me for my birthday.
What weird or novel knick-knacks do you have? #GKCO
