Good news, sports fans: it’s game on for March Madness 2021. The tournament tips-off on Thursday, March 18 when the first eight teams take the courts.
For team safety, this year’s NCAA basketball season tournament will look different with each of the 67 games being played in Indiana as opposed to in arenas across the country. To celebrate the welcome kind of madness that is March Madness, we asked the sports lovers in our lives and the pros at Fanatics, THE leaders in licensed college gear, for their top picks on gear and team merchandise for teens and their families.
Here is our starting lineup along with links to make your shopping experience an all-around WIN. Check out the special promotions for NCAA March Madness Apparel on the Fanatics site. There are also exclusive offers in their collectibles section with memorabilia from some of the greatest players of all time.
