LOYOLO

Published February 8, 2012 on Loyola Looks - Loyola University's online fashion editorial. http://loyolalooks.wordpress.com/ 

Facebook and Twitter fans agree, graphic Tee’s from the fast-mounting, consumer-driven company Campus Teez, are a hit amongst college students nationwide. The company, which offers “unique college apparel that you won’t find in your school store – or anywhere else” recently posted its latest design for Loyola University Maryland on its Facebook page. It has received 562 likes. 


What is all the hype about? The Tee that has students far more excited than any Loyola logo or happy hound has achieved, reads, “LOYOLO – so you may as well rage.” Other graphic tees, available on www.campuzteez.net, are similarly themed and party related. 


Some may perceive consumer enthusiasm to be the result of a widespread interest, from college students throughout the country, to declare – yes I’m in college, so therefore I “rage.” Yet, is our unusually blunt generation not expected to seek expression outside the boundaries of our classic campus apparel – as we do everywhere else?


I am inclined to believe that, as educated college students, “liking” Campuz Teez’s products and semi-racy content on Facebook and following the company on Twitter is more about making a statement and less about Loyola University’s will to announce, we party.

Campuz Tees are not an all-inclusive brand of apparel nor do they proclaim the outlook of the entire university they signify. They are the self expressive products of one mind that some have chosen to echo. Be inspired or be inspirational, but most importantly, be yourself – YOLO (you only live once).

Game Day Garb

Published January 25, 2012 on Loyola Looks -Loyola University's online fashion editorial. http://loyolalooks.wordpress.com/ 

Supporting a professional sports team is sometimes less about your personal dedication to a particular team and more about the intoxicating and thrilling atmosphere that overwhelms a city or household when its local lineup battles to become league champions. As a Loyola student and member of the Baltimore community, I have made the parking lots of the M&T Bank Stadium and Camden Yards my choice social scene during football and baseball season respectively. Originally from Philadelphia but begotten by Baltimore pride and its success this season, I have extended my athletic allegiance to include the Ravens. I must therefore dress the part – hello game day garb. 
Besides the expensive and sometimes unflattering mesh jerseys that classically decorate die-heart, beer guzzling men, there are less expensive and often cuter garments available for female fans.
Fitted tees are a definite style staple for every female – from the avid aficionado to the fair weather fan. Team tees are an excellent investment because they are cheap and acceptable for re-wear as often as your team has games. Below are different but equally fashionable girlish garments available on footballfanatics.com  from the Baltimore Ravens Ladies Line.
No need to fly south. The lady Raven retains a variety of options despite a drop in temperature. Choose between an array of cool-gear – also available from Baltimore’s ladies line. Football fanatic or not, celebrate your team next season – whomever that is – by dressing the part. GO BIRDS!
