10 ways to go varsity pink

Varsity 2018 is around the corner, and NTU competitors will be counting on the crowd to cheer them to victory at sports courts and facilities across Nottingham.

In what will be a thrilling display of university sport, NTU is looking to reclaim the Varsity Crown this year as we take on our neighbours, University Of Nottingham.

As well as getting yourself to games and events across the board, there are a number of fun ways to show you are NTU and #ProudtobePink.

Here’s some of our favourite ways to ‘go pink’ and show your support for Team NTU this varsity series.

1. Varsity T Shirt

Grab yourself a pink Varsity 2018 T Shirt and wear it with pride throughout the series. You can get yours at the SU shops. They’re just £6!

2. Use the pink tags and hash tags

We love nothing more than seeing students routing for their teams. When you tweet / post updates, images and videos, be sure to tag @NTUSport.

Use our official hashtags and varsity hashtags #ProudtobeNTU #Proudtobepink #Bleedpink #NTUVarsity18

3. Take a snap with the Trent Tiger

You can catch the NTU Mascot at both city and Clifton campuses drumming up support for the home team in his pink T Shirt.

You can’t miss him, he’s a tiger! Get your picture taken with him and post with official hashtags to show you’re proud to be pink.

With sports events selling fast, you might think it’ll be tricky to raise the roof for NTU. But there are plenty of ways to stand out from the crowd…

4. Get yourself a pink foam finger

Go to an SU Shop to buy your very own pink foam finger to wave about in the crowd. Foam fingers are £4, and when you buy it with a T shirt both are £8.

5. Paint your face pink

The ultimate demonstration of pink pride – painting your face in NTU’s iconic hot pink. Be sure to use safe face paints and do a skin test beforehand. Keep well away from your eyes – pink finger-painted cheeks are an excellent demonstration of #pinkarmy pride.

6. Flip on the varsity filters
