Jerseys

Reggie Bush Official Rose Bowl Jersey

These are not going to be easy to come by. But if you search eBay for Reggie Bush jersey (or just click here) you can turn up a few results that promise shipping that should put you in a jersey by gameday.

Marcus Allen 1980 Rose Bowl Jersey*

If you can’t come up on an official Reggie Bush jersey, this is the way to go. Considering that Marcus was the last SC tailback from San Diego to tear it up, and the jersey features a 1980 Rose Bowl patch, it makes a perfect throwback to sport at this year’s game–ideal for the fan who wants to show he’s been rooting for the Trojans for more than 2 years.

Matt Leinart Official Rose Bowl Jersey

With Reggie Bush’s No. 5 unquestionably the MUST-HAVE jersey of 2005, you can actually get your hands on a Matt Leinart official Rose Bowl jersey a bit easier (i.e. without having to cruise eBay). In this case, you can just head over to online sports store Eastbay, and grab a Leinart Rose Bowl ’06 jersey there.

Mens’ T-Shirts & Sweatshirts

BEVO: IT’S WHAT’S FOR DINNER Hooded Sweatshirt

The nice thing about this one–the joke really doesn’t work in the opposite direction, unless the Longhorns are willing to admit to cannabalism. Also available for the ladies.

2004 Rose Bowl Champions Tee

Just 2 years ago we came, saw, and conquered…make sure nobody forgets that fact, with this 100% cotton cardinal shortsleeve T.

USC Gold Logo Sweatshirt – Classic Style*

This one is just pure soul. Simple, classy, and really freakin’ gold. Go get some.

Upside-down Longhorn t-shirt (cardinal)

It’s basic, and its one of the most sure-fire ways to get a Longhorn’s goad.

FUCLA Hooded Sweatshirt

The old-school original. Simply the finest trash-talking t-shirt available today.

Cardinal & Gold T-Shirt

Not the most imaginative–but understated and classy. And you know we love understated and classy.

Trojans 1967 acid flashback t-shirt (cardinal)*

This one takes you right back to 1967, when SC defeated Indiana in the Rose Bowl. Yes, that Indiana.

Golden Communists warm-up jacket

Sure, we aren’t playing the Golden Communists in the game on January 4–but this one is too much fun to not include.

F*ck the Irish Hooded Sweatshirt

Again–we may not be playing the Irish; but that doesn’t mean you’re suddenly a big fan of theirs, does it?

Womens’ T-Shirts & Sweatshirts

BEVO: IT’S WHAT’S FOR DINNER Baby T

USC 2006 Rose Bowl Ladies Hooded Sweatshirt

Upside-down Longhorn ladies t-shirt (cardinal)

USC Trojans Cardinal Ladies Sheer T-shirt

The TrojanWire Shop’s write-up says it best:

Ladies, beat the heat and show your team spirit with this ultra-lightweight tee from Champion!

Yeah–we know, it probably won’t be cold at the Rose Bowl. But it’s all about layering, right ladies?

USC Ladies Hoodie

Hats & Baseball Caps

Official USC Baseball Cap

This is another tough item to come by these days–the official SC baseball cap. It’s shown here in black, but the traditional cardinal & gold version is available as well (and is WAY better, in my humble opinion).

SC Logo Cap

Fitted, simple, and available now at the SC Bookstore online.

FUCLA Trucker Hat

Talking trash on the Bruins. It never goes out of style.

Other Stuff

USC Trojans Infant 2-Piece Football Suit*

Why should baby be left out of the Trojan spirit? Let everyone know whose family is the Trojanest, by decking out your toddler in this two-piece suit, featuring the #1. So baby can pretend to be Patrick Turner, or throwback to the glory days of Mike Williams. Oh, those were the days.

DVD: The History of USC Football

Looking to get pumped for the big game with some highlights from previous seasons? The History of USC Football takes you on a trip down memory lane, and chronicles the Trojans return to dominance, complete with last season’s Orange Bowl victory over Oklahoma. A must-own for any Trojan superfan.

BOOKS: Conquest: Pete Carroll And The Trojans’ Climb To The Top Of The College Football Mountain (by Gary Klein and David Wharton)

A great read for the Trojan fan looking to relive Pete Carroll’s resurrection of the Trojan football program.

USC Trojans Stained Glass Table Lamp

Brighten your workplace with this stained glass USC Trojans lamp. Uber classy.
