Ravens Fashion: Purple Lipstick and Game Day Glam

Black and purple give Ravens supporters plenty of room to express their game day style. A polished lip and defined eyes can carry the team spirit, while a jersey, vintage tee or purple scarf makes the outfit instantly recognisable. The strongest look feels personal: comfortable enough for travel and tailgate time, then camera-ready when the crowd starts to roar.

Australian supporters know how quickly a sunny afternoon can become a chilly evening, so a great game day look needs room to adapt. Local football culture is practical and social: you dress for the day, meet your crew, share some food and stay loyal to the team. BMore Chix brings those elements together with fan videos, fashion inspiration and Ravens-themed recipes for the full game day experience.

Match your outfit to the moment

Start with a comfortable base and one clear Ravens detail. The right outfit can carry you from a daytime meet-up to a night match without feeling overdressed.

Game-day moment	Clothing formula	Beauty formula	Comfort check
Daytime meet-up	Jeans, vintage tee, clean trainers	Base, brows, tinted lip balm	Keep it light for a sunny arvo
Stadium arrival	Scarf, cap or soft team jersey	Defined eyes and a purple wash	Leave bulky bags at home
In the stands	Knit or tee under a light jacket	Satin, long-wear lipstick	Stadium air can feel colder
Tailgate	Team socks, denim or a skirt	Fresh lips and strong brows	Check venue rules first
Homeward trip	Black layers and comfortable boots	One glossy accent	Plan your ride before dark

Keep the base neutral so the team colours stay crisp. Black denim, white sneakers and a purple accessory create an easy off-field outfit, while a black dress can handle the tailgate and the walk back to the train. For football fashion that works in Australian weather, choose layers and shoes you can wear for hours, and let sunscreen provide a simple daytime base.

Match your makeup to the setting rather than the clock. More coverage usually stays flattering under bright lights, while a bare face and tinted balm suit a casual daytime meet-up. Test any cream or gloss in natural light, and carry a small touch-up kit for the long drive home.

Dress for an Australian game day

Australian game days have their own practical rhythm. Melbourne fans might head to Optus Stadium or a local pub, while Brisbane supporters can make a whole afternoon of Suncorp Stadium. Check public transport, precinct access and venue bag rules before leaving home, because an NFL stadium setup may not translate neatly to a local venue.

Aussie football chat is friendly and quick. “Legends” means the best players, “footy” refers to the sport, and “no worries” covers a smudged lipstick or a lost earring. Use that relaxed language for your own game day prep: a breezy ponytail, comfortable boots and makeup that can survive a train platform will serve you better than perfection.

Australian shoppers also expect straightforward pricing. At Priceline, Chemist Warehouse or Myer, compare the final prices and product sizes before buying. Local prices usually include GST, while imported Ravens merchandise may add it at checkout, so leave time for international shipping and check the return policy. If a game day includes exercise, the fitness routine ideas can help you choose a comfortable post-match activity without turning the day into a strict workout.

Make the purple lip last

Purple lipstick is the quickest way to signal team spirit, but shade and finish change the result. A warm violet can flatter golden undertones, a cool berry can suit pink or olive undertones, and deep aubergine gives short black hair a dramatic edge. Try the colour on your lips in daylight, then check how it looks beside your chosen top.

Choose the finish to match your stamina. Satin bullets look polished without feeling overly formal, and transfer-resistant liquid lipsticks can handle a crowded rail carriage and a plate of tailgate food. Blot once, dust lightly over the centre and let it set. For a softer glow, sheer plum over matching lip liner creates a wearable wash of colour.

Frame the mouth with defined brows, bronzer and a little highlighter rather than piling on every product. A thin wing of black eyeliner, curled lashes or a few false lashes will make purple shadow stand out at night. Turn the beauty prep into a proper pre-match ritual: compare lip colours, photograph the finished look in daylight and let one friend cast a vote. For groups that prefer a challenge to a beauty tutorial, the safe cracking puzzles can add an activity while the snacks are waiting.

Style the tailgate from plate to playlist

A tailgate is where the outfit earns its keep, especially when folding chairs, coolers and a camera are all competing for space. Choose jersey colours you can sit in without looking overdressed, and add a hair tie, sunglasses and comfortable shoes to your bag. Fans planning the menu can start with the mini burger recipe, which pairs easy-to-serve burgers with Old Bay mayo.

Keep the beauty look fresh rather than precious. Long-wear lipstick, a hair tie and a mini brush will handle a crowded precinct, while statement earrings and a team cap can come out for team photos. A clear poncho protects the outfit from unexpected drizzle without hiding the colours.

Build the soundtrack before the food goes on the grill. A portable speaker, a short playlist of anthems and a phone charger cover the essentials, while a group photo spot turns the best outfit into part of the match-day memory. Let the colours stay visible and the tailgate feel like your crew’s own small festival.

Build your own game day checklist

A few days before the match, browse the Chix Kitchen recipes and choose dishes that can be prepared ahead. That leaves time to test the makeup, organise the transport and invite the crew without turning game day into a last-minute scramble.

• Choose one hero colour, such as deep purple, and repeat it in two small details. This keeps black-and-purple styling coherent without making the entire outfit look like a uniform.
• Pick your lip finish with the day in mind: satin for polished comfort, liquid colour for longer wear, or sheer plum for a relaxed daytime version.
• Balance a fitted jersey with relaxed denim, or pair a vintage Ravens tee with a skirt, boots and a practical jacket for cooler Australian evenings.
• Pack a small touch-up kit with blotting papers, compact powder, clear balm, safety pins and any mini beauty tools you cannot do without.
• Check the forecast, transport plan and stadium rules before choosing your footwear and layers. Comfortable shoes and a rain option can prevent a great outfit becoming a nuisance.
• Make the crew part of the look with matching purple accessories, shared photos and a pre-match playlist. Invite someone to take a picture so the finished style is captured in good light.

Test the complete outfit at home, including the shoes and bag. Sit down, walk around and check the makeup in daylight; adjustments made beforehand are easier than fixing everything in a crowded concourse.

Choose your colours, save the date and bring your crew to BMore Chix to share the final look, the tailgate menu and the post-game reaction. Show up in purple, make it unmistakably yours, and let the Ravens community cheer you on.
