It’s in their DNA; a gentlemanly pursuit that goes well beyond fall football. At The Sporting Gent, you can outfit your guy with all the essentials for tailgating, from what to bring to what to wear.  It’s not a frat boy thing at TSG; it is a classic, traditional style that works perfectly at alumni hall and tailgates. He’ll find a subtle way to wear his school colors, just a nod to the team with the right bowtie, belt or sweater.

Plus, they have some of the best and most unique accessories in town for him, including all things YETI.

We reached out to The Sporting Gent for thoughts on the tailgating needs any southern fellow might want for the season upon us.

Being the guys in the know, they started the list off with the all-important whiskey cocktail.  To be served, of course, in the YETI Rambler, cold & sharp.

Fall Tailgating cocktail recipes from Kyle Morgan, Brown-Forman Whiskey Ambassador.
