Ultimate Father's Day Gift Ideas for Your Favorite Alabama Crimson Tide Fan

Alabama Crimson Tide fans enjoy showing off their team pride. With Father's Day coming up fast, it's a perfect time to give the dad in your life a gift that displays his team spirit. This Father's Day, give Bama gear to the avid Tide fan in your life. No matter what your budget is, there's a Father's Day gift that will make your college football loving dad smile.

If your dad is the type that can't miss a minute of game time, give him an Alabama Crimson Tide branded watch. These Bama watches come in a variety of styles and price ranges, so you can find something that compliments his personal fashion choices and still fits within your budget.

Does dad watch the Tide play from the comfort of his recliner? If so, these Nike Alabama Crimson Tide fleece pants may strike his fancy. My husband has these and he loves them. I call them lounge pants because he never actually sweats in them but that's another story. He likes the pockets. I like that they don't have elastic around leg bottoms like typical sweat pants.

Is your dad on the sporty side? If he likes to play sports himself, perhaps a pair of Alabama shorts would make a nice Father's Day gift. There are traditional athletic shorts, board shorts, bike shorts, boxers and more, all proudly displaying the Alabama Crimson Tide logo.

A little on the pricy side but if your dad's big into tailgating at the Alabama football games and you've got the funds, he may appreciate a 9'x9' frame NCAA college canopy tent . Offered in solid white with crimson logos, solid crimson with white logos or in a pinwheel pattern, all of these tents have Big Al featured on all four sides.

An obvious choice but one to consider--give your dad an Alabama Crimson Tide football jersey with his favorite player's number on it for Father's Day. A wide range of styles, colors and prices are available.

Does dad like to drive around town in style? Alabama license plates for the front of his car, a license plate frame for the back of his car, or both are excellent Father's Day gift options. We just got a license plate frame and it looks great, subtle yet strong. There are lots of styles and colors to choose from. There's even one that says Bama Dad.

Who knew the standard necktie came in so many Alabama variations? Whether you want to give dad a Father's Day gift that screams Roll Tide or one that quietly suggests his team support, there is an Alabama Crimson Tide necktie that will fit into your dad's wardrobe.

As a stand alone gift or in addition to another Crimson Tide Father's Day gift, consider giving dad this Tuscaloosa Tornado Relief T-shirt . The words Together We Stand Strong , the Alabama Crimson Tide logo and the date 4/27/11 are printed in white against the crimson t-shirt. Proceeds go to the UA Acts of Kindness Fund which provides assistance to the University of Alabama storm victims. This is a limited time offer.

Happy Father's Day, dad.

Roll Tide Roll!
