Troy Week Show and Tell: gifts for the Trojan in your life

Today's a bit different, kids.

In honor of it being Troy Week, and my rising level of excitement for the annual crosstown rivalry game, I've scoured the web (okay, Amazon, because I'm lazy and also I'd like you to click through my links) for cool/unusual/essential products imprinted with lovely cardinal and gold logos.



Because you've got to have something to stand guard over your Mickey Mouse Gnome Rain Gauge right? Or your collection of totally-not-ironic-okay-maybe-they-are Mickey garden gnomes.

Or how about this pretty sweet scarf for the 2 days this year you might be cold enough to wear one? (Let's be honest, at USC we wear scarves ironically)

I'm not sure how I feel about this one... seems to me, capes should be gold and cut at a jaunty angle, but you know, if you're going to wear a red cape, it might as well be cardinal, right?

I admit it, I hate vinylmation. But some people, for whatever reason, like it... and I'd be remiss if I left this Disney/USC crossover item off the list.
Marcus Allen action figure. Cool.
Troy Polomalu action figure. Also cool.

Hey look! It's jewelry, AND it encourages higher education! Proof that you can be both pretty and smart. Perfect stocking stuffer for your tween or teenager!

Oh cool... I can give an actual product review on this particular item... my toddler is napping upstairs with hers right now. Soft, fluffy, opens out into a pillow, and just the right size for the under-a-yard set to pretend they can ride it (and watching them drag it all over the house that way is pretty freaking hilarious). Seriously, this Traveler pillow pet is a good call. My nephews used to fight over one until my brother bought a second. No lie.
This barbecue cover would be perfect for those game day parties. Except for the part where you're USING your barbecue, so nobody can see it. But YOU'D know.

Now, I'm not recommending anybody spend $25 for a hoodie for your dog, but perhaps you live in a cold part of the country, or perhaps you just really really like dressing up your dog for family photos. I don't know, but hey, if you insist, there's this:

Of course, you could go with the (less expensive) jersey

But please, show some pity on your wannabe Tirebiter, okay?

Your wife probably already owns this bracelet watch, right? C'mon... now she can't say you don't buy her jewelry!
Jealous? Fine...

If one iPhone case is good, two is better, right? Well, it is if it's a USC cover and you have an iPhone 5!

And for those of us with the 4S...

You know... for those "rebuilding" years...

Gym bag!

Ever wonder where people get those cardinal and gold kukui nut leis that they wear to the Hawaii games?

And finally... here's the random item that inspired this post. The USC USB car charger. Because... Fight on.
