#1 All Things Orange

It's no surprise that Clemsonites like orange. The color is, after all, the official national color of Clemson. But Clemsonites take their devotion to orange above and beyond a typical college fan. Sure all college sports teams have bumper stickers and t-shirts, maybe even a few foam fingers, but Clemsonites know that true dedication means having orange cars, orange houses, orange pets, and drinking orange beverages. The University of Florida may have invented Gatorade, but everyone knows that Clemson actually invented orange juice. It's also important to note Clemson is one of the only places on earth where you can get orange overalls in grown man sizes. Sure, you and I may have to buy them at a store downtown. But for the underprivileged, Clemson has started a program to distribute these garments for free at facilities throughout the country.

Orange apparel also has the added benefit of giving Clemsonites super powers. Because of their resemblance to traffic cones, Clemsonites confidently walk in front of on-coming traffic (especially on game days) with the assurance that cars will stop, just for them.

Lmao, what kind of class project is this? An exercise in irony? Whatever it is, I do like it.
