Auburn Tigers Host Exclusive Equipment Room Clearance Sale Offering Fans Rare Opportunity to Own Official Team-Issued Gear This Saturday
There’s something magical about owning a piece of your favorite team’s history—something worn by the players, used on the sidelines, or tucked away inside the locker room during some of the most unforgettable moments in Auburn Tigers sports. This Saturday, that chance becomes real. Auburn Athletics is opening the doors to its equipment room for a one-of-a-kind clearance sale, and Tiger fans have the rare opportunity to own authentic, team-issued gear. From sideline jackets and practice jerseys to cleats, gloves, and more, this is a celebration of all things Auburn—and it’s first come, first served.
The buzz around campus and throughout the Auburn community is already building. Word of the sale has spread fast, and for good reason. Events like this don’t happen often. Equipment room sales offer fans direct access to gear that has been part of the Tigers’ athletic program—items that were made for or used by student-athletes across multiple sports. For the Auburn faithful, it’s more than just merchandise. It’s a tangible connection to the program they love.
This Saturday’s event promises to be the biggest and most comprehensive clearance sale Auburn has hosted in years. Set to take place at the Auburn Athletics Complex, the sale is expected to draw hundreds of fans, students, alumni, and collectors, all hoping to snag a piece of Auburn gear that you can’t buy in stores or online. These aren’t retail items—they’re unique, limited, and steeped in team history.
Expect racks and tables lined with official Nike apparel worn by Auburn athletes, from warm-up suits and travel polos to workout shorts, compression gear, and jackets embroidered with official team logos. Football fans can look forward to used cleats, gloves, helmets, and practice jerseys—some of which may have seen action during high-stakes SEC showdowns or Iron Bowl rivalries. There will also be items from other sports such as baseball, basketball, soccer, softball, and track and field, showcasing the breadth of Auburn’s athletic excellence.
And the best part? Prices are set to be fan-friendly. Since the main goal is to make space for new inventory and give back to the loyal fanbase, most items will be sold at a fraction of their original value. Whether you’re hunting for gear to wear at the next game or seeking memorabilia to display at home, there’s something for everyone—students on a budget, diehard collectors, and families looking to share the Auburn experience with the next generation.
Auburn’s Director of Equipment Operations, Jake Long, says the clearance is more than just a sale—it’s a chance to deepen the bond between the program and its supporters. “This is about giving the Auburn Family a piece of the experience,” Long explained. “The athletes and coaches put so much into representing Auburn every day, and this gear has been a part of that journey. Now, it gets a second life with the fans who make this program special.”
The logistics of the event are set to ensure a smooth and exciting experience. Doors to the equipment room will open at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, and fans are encouraged to arrive early. Based on past events, lines are expected to form well before opening time, with some fans arriving at dawn to secure first access to rare items. Once inside, it’s a browsing free-for-all. Items are laid out by sport and type, with staff available to help with sizes, pricing, and questions about gear history.
For many fans, part of the thrill is not just in finding great deals—it’s in the treasure hunt itself. There’s always the possibility of stumbling across something special: a custom-fitted jersey worn by a star player, a game-used pair of cleats from a classic SEC showdown, or a coaching staff windbreaker from a bowl appearance. Each item has a story, and part of the fun is imagining the journey it took before landing in your hands.
Longtime Auburn fan and alum Brett Simmons said he’s been to a couple of these sales before and plans to be there again on Saturday. “I still have the travel hoodie I got five years ago—it’s got a few marks on it, but that just makes it better,” Simmons said. “It feels like I’m wearing something with history, like I’m part of the team in some small way.”
It’s not just locals who are showing up either. Fans from surrounding states, and even a few from across the country, have been known to make the trip for a chance at exclusive gear. For many, this event isn’t just about shopping—it’s about being closer to the program. Parents bring their kids, alumni come back to campus, and friends reunite to share stories, memories, and laughs while rummaging through piles of Auburn orange and navy.
In addition to gear, there will be opportunities to connect with members of the equipment staff, hear stories about life behind the scenes in college athletics, and even meet a few surprise visitors from the athletic department. Past events have featured appearances from former players and coaches, who often stop by to lend support or pick up a few keepsakes of their own.
The sale also has an environmental benefit. Instead of letting high-quality items go to waste, Auburn’s equipment staff ensures that gear no longer in use gets a second life. It’s a win-win—fans get unique items at affordable prices, and the athletic department practices sustainability by recycling old inventory. Any unsold gear after the main sale may be donated to local youth programs or stored for future events.
For students especially, this is a golden opportunity to stock up on gear that would otherwise be out of reach. With the new season fast approaching, showing school pride has never been more affordable—or more authentic. Whether it’s a pullover from the basketball team’s Final Four run or a pair of cleats from a football bowl game, wearing official Auburn gear feels different. It feels real.
While most fans will be looking to walk away with apparel, others might have more sentimental motivations. For some, it’s about holding onto a memory—a memento from a specific season, player, or game that meant something personal. For others, it’s about building a collection. Auburn memorabilia has long been a point of pride for collectors, and team-issued gear can be among the most valuable and meaningful.
With the 2025 football season around the corner, the timing of the event couldn’t be better. Excitement is already in the air after a strong recruiting cycle and the promise of a competitive fall campaign. Saturday’s sale is another reminder that Auburn is not just a team you watch on Saturdays—it’s a family you belong to. And that family just happens to be giving you the keys to the closet this weekend.
Fans planning to attend are encouraged to bring bags or totes for carrying multiple items and to be ready for hot weather while waiting in line. Payment options will include cards and mobile pay, with limited cash registers available. The university has also set up designated parking areas near the Athletics Complex and will post signage and directions throughout the area to assist with crowd flow and safety.
At the end of the day, the equipment room clearance sale is about more than gear. It’s about the stories we carry, the pride we wear, and the connection we feel to the teams we cheer for. Auburn is built on tradition, on loyalty, and on the power of the Auburn Family. This Saturday, that spirit will be on full display—stacked on tables, hanging on racks, and wrapped around the shoulders of fans who bleed orange and blue.
If you’ve ever wanted to feel closer to Auburn Athletics, this is your moment. Come early, bring your Auburn spirit, and leave with more than just gear. Leave with a piece of the story.
