With only a few days to Oct. 31, Bowling Green State University (BGSU) students have a tough choice to make: what to dress up for this Halloween. Find some inspiration for BGSU-related costumes and put a fun spin on your school spirit.
Pudge the cat
Instead of a classic black cat this Halloween, opt for something with a little more brown-and-orange flair. Pudge the cat rose the ranks of BGSU celebrities, known for his cuteness and morale-boosting in the locker room and beyond. To get that Persian shorthair look, go for brown or light orange shades, maybe even sporting a football jersey. Don’t forget cat ears and whiskers to complete the look. Turn any Halloween bash into a “Pudge Party,” rocking out like campus royalty.
Bleacher Creature
The BGSU student section at hockey games, nicknamed the Bleacher Creatures, is always roaring with passion and energy, cheering on the Falcons on the rink. But what if this lively crowd turned undead this spooky season? Grab a hockey stick and a jersey to transform into a real Bleacher Creature, zombie-style. With green makeup, tatters or dirty smudges on clothes and a hunger for braaaains, celebrate Halloween and stay out of the penalty box.
SICSIC Member
Have you ever dreamt of being a member of one of BGSU’s oldest campus groups, the spirit crew SICSIC? Realize these dreams on All Hallows’ Eve. A blue-gray jumpsuit is a must, paired with sneakers, colorful accessories and of course, your own SICSIC mask. Make sure to stay in character with friendly energy, kind encouragements and plenty of LaffyTaffy to share with your friends.
Ohio Weather
On the hunt for an outside-of-the-box group costume? Go as the Ohio weather! From BG’s notorious wind to cloudy grays to 80-degree heat in the middle of October, this costume idea is a great way to get creative. For wind, think flowy clothes, messy teased hair and even an inverted umbrella as an accessory. With plenty of tulle, cotton-ball makeup and dripping beads of rain, you blend right in with Bowling Green’s overcast downpours. Gold jewelry, a yellow outfit and a headband with gold rays makes the perfect sun to round out this trio.
