Joe Pa Tribute Outfit Tomorrow

So in honor of JoePa, I wanted to do a little tribute in my own way. Tomorrow I'll be paying homage to him with my own JoePa outfit at work. I've got my white shirt, PSU striped tie, Kahkis (rolled up slightly obviously) black dress shoes with some new white laces i just added (I figure black shoes like Joe's probably aren't work appropriate). I have a dark blue sweater like he used to wear when it was cold out as well. I think i have it pretty covered.

Who else is going to join me tomorrow?

My wife (ComfortHePuHuTh) "suggested"

the same idea to me earlier. Mine is not 100% authentic, but is navy pants, white dress shirt with dark blue stripes, and a tie to be selected by her. Am leaning towards a navy tie with with white accents.

She wants me to wear blue-and-white all week . . . .

WE ARE!!

I'll be close

I laid mine out earlier today. My kahkis are a lightly darker brown than we wore, but our office is cool with sneakers, so I have a pair of black Asics that I’ll be wearing. I unfortunately don’t have a blue and white tie (again, not needed where I work, so I only own like 3 or 4). I have a light blue dress shirt similar to what we would wear a lot of times and I’m going to wear my PSU windbreaker (very similar to the one he wore when the weather was nicer).

*slightly darker brown

no sure how something might be “lightly darker”

and of course it should be “he wore” instead of “we wore”, “he would wear” instead of “we would wear”, um . . . I think that’s all of the corrections.

forgot to add

I’m planning on wearing a black armband over the windbreaker.

"Thank you, Joe"

of course. Forgot to mention: I will be wearing my T-shirt with the Lion logo on it underneath.

thanks

tomorrow’s a workday..no students…so t shirts are allowed…
Normal days I have to wear a polo shirt (dry fit types to move around with my students) but am pretty sure I’ll be wearing the following this week:

PSU Polo shirt
Thank You, Joe T
Still Proud to Be A Penn Stater T
We Are Penn State T
And another one Friday….

lucky thing is my principal is a PSU fan (her sister teaches at PSU) so she will let it slide all week

where can I buy

said whale pants….being born in 1985 I don’t even know that he wore them after I was born…I would definitely wear a pair sometime though

by va2pennstate on Jan 22, 2012 9:46 PM EST reply actions  

I wish I could wear what I wanted

Black shoes, white button down, white tie, white pants. Sadly my whiteout can’t be tomorrow because I have my first career training class to teach. :(

We know there are dress codes ... AFTER HOURS: Blue & White!!

I’m wearing my “Paternoville” T-shirt today and I wore my “Joe Knows Football” T-shirt yesterday. I’m going to see how many days in a row I can wear blue and white… probably a lot considering half of my waredrobe is blue and white!

I am wearing Kahkis, a navy blue tank top and white sweater today. And wore my PSU rain jacket into the office.

White shirt, PSU tie, khakis rolled up. Wish I had black Nike sneakers though.

by speedomike on Jan 23, 2012 11:49 AM EST reply actions  

Wearing Nikes and rolling khakis all week.

I am wearing a pair of black Nikes with white swooshes that have been my “Penn State” shoes for years now. I am also rolling my khakis. I always wear a shirt and tie to my teaching job. I was surprised at how many people at my school in NC knew why I was wearing what I wore.

gerrylovesnathalie, I'll rec this with the idea

that not only are you doing this in THE SPIRIT, but you are washing the khakis frequently/or as needed. lol carry on
