ATLANTA – While Fall 2020 may look very different on college campuses and in football stadiums across America, fans can still unite in celebration of the 16th annual College Colors Day this Friday, September 4. The national holiday, created by collegiate licensing leader CLC, encourages over 185 million fans to don the apparel of their favorite college and share their spirit via social media, using the hashtag #CollegeColorsDay.

“Even though people may not be able to gather in person for College Colors Day this year, it remains incredibly special, because the connection to their favorite college means more now than it ever has before,” said Nicole Armentrout, Vice President, Marketing at CLC. “College fans are eager to celebrate and unite in support of their favorite school. We look forward to seeing countless fans post pictures of themselves wearing their favorite university’s colors on College Colors Day.”
