It’s that time—where holiday spirit and college sports meet at the apex to create an ugly look but a festive demeanor. With the college basketball season in full swing and the college football bowl season ready to begin this weekend, it’s the perfect time to represent an alma mater or fan favorite school with their colors.

Of course there’s a certain amount of pride for any fan of a school or university, so Tipsy Elves has provided its top-10 selling college sweaters.
The purchasing power of a Michigan Man rings true, as Wolverines sweaters top the list and in even better news for them, are ahead of Michigan State in the No. 2 spot. The basketball powerhouse Kentucky is in third, followed by college football’s top program, Alabama. This year’s College Football Playoff darling, Clemson, rounds out the top-five.
