Missouri

It’s COLLEGE COLORS DAY (CCD) time again and the Licensing and Trademarks Office is asking for help from your area to promote the event.  August 29th marks the 2014 annual College Colors Day, a tradition to promote school spirit and the start of college football season.  Students, staff, alumni & fans are encouraged to participate by wearing their BLACK and GOLD. 

Mizzou is participating in the third annual College Colors Day spirit competition and is asking for fan support to help win the national Spirit Cup award, which includes $10,000 toward the general scholarship fund as well as a chance to win an all-expenses paid trip to the College Football Playoff National Championship game.

The Spirit Cup is a points-based rivalry competition that utilizes social media platforms to crown its champion. Tiger fans can earn points for Mizzou by showcasing their school spirit on Twitter and Instagram using the hashtags #collegecolors and #mizzoumade. The Spirit Cup competition kicks off on August 1 and runs through August 28 at 11:59 p.m. EST. Winners of both the Spirit Cup competition and the College Football Playoff sweepstakes will be announced on College Colors Day, Friday, August 29, via CollegeColorsDay.com.
