Schools like UNC, Duke and the University of Michigan may have long held bragging rights for the best merch in college sports, but the buzziest team (and buzziest merch) in America right now is based in Colorado.
The University of Colorado Boulder (better known as CU) is seeing a resurgence in popularity thanks to the addition of Deion Sanders as coach of the school’s team. Now, it seems like no weekend can go by without the NCAA Division 1 football team making headlines for its on- and off-field antics. The team is pretty good too, getting off to a 3-0 undefeated start to the 2023 college football season.

The team’s winning ways have translated into big sales online too, with retailers reporting increased interest in Colorado Buffaloes gear and memorabilia. Some retailers, like the accessories brand Love Your Melon, only have a few more pieces of Buffaloes apparel in stock, while fan-driven sites like Fanatics have now added CU merch to their offerings.
Looking for the best Colorado Buffaloes merch online? Here are some of the most popular pieces to pick up now.
1. Blenders Prime Sunglasses
After Colorado State Rams coach Jay Novell called out Sanders for wearing sunglasses at press conferences, Sanders played up his Blenders Prime shades and secured a deal with the eyewear brand. Available in four different colors, the scratch-resistant, polarized lenses are perfect for sports and other outdoor activities. At just $67, they’re super affordable too.

With cooler weather rolling in, this cozy beanie from hat brand, Love Your Melon, is a great way to rep your favorite team while staying warm. Choose from a pom-pom version for $55 or a classic knit beanie for $40 here. You’ll want to hurry though: while Love Your Melon has merch from a number of NCAA teams online, the site says CU gear is moving quickly and there is only a limited supply of Buffaloes hats left in stock.

6. Colorado Buffaloes Hoodie
This cozy hoodie is great for wearing to the next football game or chilling at home. The cotton blend is super soft and warm, and we like the vintage-inspired fit, which will only get softer the more you wash it and break it in. This is another piece of official CU merch available on Amazon.

7. CU Tumbler
One of the best-selling pieces of CU merch on Amazon right now is this 18 oz. tumbler, which can be used to house hot or cool drinks. The double-walled insulation keeps your drinks at your preferred temperature, while the slide-top lid prevents spills. The stainless steel construction, meantime, handles any accidental dings or drops without damage.

8. CU Mug
Prefer a classic mug? We like the etched CU design on this bistro-style ceramic coffee mug, which is a great way to rep the Buffaloes at home or at the office. The mug has a 16 oz. capacity and is both dishwasher- and microwave-safe.

This two-pack deal on Amazon gets you a Buffaloes-branded koozie and an insulated bottle holder that fits around both beer bottles and soda bottles. It’s an easy way to hold chilled drinks in your hand while avoiding that annoying “sweat” from cold beverages.

10. Colorado Buffaloes Puzzle
For something completely different, we like this 500-piece puzzle set, which features artwork inspired by CU insignia and Buffaloes memorabilia. The finished product measures 18 x 24 inches. This is a fun family activity and a great way to get those Buffaloes fans started young.
The puzzle is an officially-licensed release from fan merch and accessories brand, YouTheFan.
