Show us your Big Blue pride!
National College Colors Day is August 30. Show your MU spirit by wearing your Millikin gear and sharing your posts with us on Instagram and Facebook, using the hashtag #MUCollegeColorsDay!
Not enough blue in your closet? We can help with that! Our Big Blue Campus Store has a special shirt designed specifically for College Colors Day. You can preorder a shirt here from now until August 26.
This year’s College Colors Day will also serve as Millikin’s official kickoff for Big Blue Spirit Fridays! Celebrate every week by grabbing your favorite T-shirt, baseball cap, polo, hoodie or other MU swag and showing it off each Friday as we all display our collective pride.
