Paint your face purple, add cute dots across your face or throw on a simple heart on the cheek. It’s one of the key staples to showing your lope pride.

GCU Game Day Shirt

Granted, you will probably have dozens of these by the time you graduate, but you can never have too many GCU shirts. Make sure you wear one at a game.

Purple Knee Socks

These are easily accessible at almost any store and make any outfit scream GCU. Pair it with a purple shirt, some face-paint and you are ready for the game.

Carry Around Some Stampede

Need a pump of caffeine before? Grab some stampedes from Grand Canyon Beverage Company and pass some out to your friends. It’s the go-to drink for every basketball game.

Get a Purple Bandana

Another cute outfit staple that can be worn in your hair, around your neck, on the arm and on your leg.
