Between college and NFL football, weekends are now officially reserved for spending time with loved ones rooting for your preferred teams, making fun game-day foods, and enjoying the cooler temperatures as the summer season comes to an end.

Our Favorite Stadium-Approved Bags For Every Budget
$38 at Verabradley.com When you’re having fun at tailgate gatherings, you want to make sure your drinks are always cool and refreshing. This wide-mouth water bottle is constructed with durable copper-lined stainless steel, which can keep drinks like water, sweet tea, or lemonade cold for up to 60 hours. It features a large mouth to make pouring and adding ice cubes a breeze, plus a leak-proof lid to prevent spills and messes. Not to mention, it’s also designed with an easy-to-use spout lid for those times when you don’t want to fuss with twisting a lid on and off.
$140 at Verabradley.com A tote bag is a must-have in your closet, both on and off season. This college-themed take on the classic Vera tote bag is crafted with a beautiful floral design in the soft, quilted texture we all know and love. It’s the perfect companion for the student carrying textbooks or the college mom visiting campus for the day, with a large capacity that provides plenty of room for essentials like your phone, wallet, keys, snacks, and more. The stylish tote also features a front slip pocket, a front zip pocket, plus a hidden top pocket to keep your items safe and secure.
$90 at Verabradley.com Whether you’re headed to a game-day party or outdoor sporting event, you need this car tote in your life. The NFL-branded bag has a large capacity, and measures 21.5 inches wide by 13 inches high by 12 inches deep, which means there’s tons of space to store tailgating essentials, like speakers, coolers, blankets, and of course, food. For easy storage and handling, the car tote is designed with an interior slip pocket, plus side handles and shoulder straps, so you can tote it around comfortably. Inclement weather and messy spills are no problem for the bag, too, as it’s made from a polyester material that is both durable and water repellent.
$95 at Verabradley.com The triple zip hipster has been a consistent favorite of mine for years, and when you find a style with your team’s logo and color, it will be yours too. For starters, it is equipped with not one, not two, but three zippered compartments to keep your essentials neat and tidy. The back slip pocket is big enough to hold a tablet or E-reader, and the interior has another zippered pocket plus two slip pockets to store more belongings—the pockets and organization options are endless. It’s also designed with the brand’s popular quilted cotton material and an embroidered logo to finish the look.
Vera Bradley has plenty more where that came from. Whether you’re a college football fan or more of an NFL person, be sure to check out the Collegiate collection and NFL collection, and browse our top picks from both lines below!
