For our Packer Parties.... The Irish nat'l Tartan is perfect for a GB Packer fan.

For us Broncos fans, an Irish saffron and a navy blue shirt fit the bill nicely.

Good to see another Packer fan thinking the same way! I posted this elsewhere, but Gordon goes well also!

Thomson grey for Arizona Cardinals fans....well...before they changed jerseys...

If you're in Wisconsin, I bet you can't go wrong with the German tartan either, although it's better suited to the Redskins.

wow... I didn't know there WERE any Arizona Cardinals fans!

This topic, of finding tartans which match team colours, is an interesing one for sure. It could be extended to other sports and to colleges.

A local university here, University of California Riverside (the "Highlanders"), designed their own tartan in the school colours blue and gold. Of course 'blue and gold' is a very common college colour...my West Virginia Mountaineers wear it. It's the colours of most US states, I think. (By the way somebody invented a West Virginia tartan that's mostly green...not much use for a Mountaineers fan.)

Here's the UCRiverside pipe band with their blue&gold kilts:



(I and many others think that it was a mistake to pleat this lovely tartan to the stripe, which makes the rear of the kilts look like mustard.)

Another local university, Redlands, has the colours crimson and grey and a friend who did a lot of piping for U of R functions got a crimson and grey kilt, grey hose with crimson flashes, a grey kilt jacket, etc.

Perhaps someone could compile a list of team/state/school colours and the tartans that match, something like:

Blue&Gold: UCR tartan
Green&Yellow: Gordon, Irish National
etc

Ohio State Buckeyes- Royal Stewart with grey hose and scarlet flashes.

For any Boise State University fans, the Irn Bru tartan would be perfect. I plan to get one, one day.
