Football season is upon us, and these upcoming games bring excitement. One of the things that makes these games exciting are the themes; however, they tend to be repetitive as the football season goes on.

Instead of reusing the same themes, like the neon theme that you can see on the ASB Instagram, as well as the repetitive camo and black-out themes, there are many other fun themes to incorporate for future football games.

One example of a more creative theme could be Pirates vs. Mermaids. Allowing students to choose what they want to dress up as adds an interactive part to the theme. This would have more students engaged, and it would increase the excitement about attending games.

Another interesting theme could be Fire vs. Ice. This would allow a fun, light-hearted rivalry between students, creating an entertaining game. This also allows students to express themselves through their outfits and accessories.

Decade Night is another exciting theme to add to the list. With this theme, there are many outlets of creativity when it comes to making an outfit. There would be so many decades to choose from, all the way from the 1920s to the 2000s, and many more ways to make this theme fun besides showing up in stunning clothes. For example, an MVP Visuals article on football themes suggests incorporating things like an old retro photobooth, music from different decades, as well as cool lights and decorations to represent all the decades.

Adding to the list of more creative themes, students could also dress up as their favorite movie character. From an evil character to a charming lead, it gives students freedom to express themselves in any manner they choose.

The final idea is White Lies, where the students dress up in a white shirt and write a small lie about themselves. This harmless and funny theme has been seen circulating on social media platforms such as TikTok. Students can easily recognize and follow along with this light-hearted theme; however, if they are feeling stuck, they can look at websites such as Parade, where they list multiple ideas for students to use.

Overall, adding these new creative themes to Friday Night Lights would not only encourage more people to attend but also create unforgettable memories for students!
