A Tier List For All Things Fall

Posted on September 25, 2024 by Blake von Thaden

Summer… is DEAD. Fall is ALIVE! Okay, yes, technically fall starts on September 21st, but only nerds actually follow that. It’s September, and we all know September is The Fall Month. That means it’s officially time to get in the Fall Mood – and you know what we’re talking about. We’re going down and ranking All Things Fall, from worst to best, to get you the right mindset for the season. 

D-TIER: 

Nothing in the fall season qualifies as D-tier. The vibes of the season are simply too immaculate for anything to “fall” this low. 

C-TIER:

Back-to-school, pumpkin spice everything, pumpkin patches, hayrides

Back-to-school season can be a fun vibe, and it’s exciting to wear some new Packtransit to your new classes, but let’s be honest: the transition from summer back to having annoying classmates and homework can be pretty brutal. It’s not the worst, but definitely not the best. And pumpkin spice, as a concept… look. It’s fine. Sometimes it’s even pretty good. But do we really need pumpkin spice toothpaste? Enough already. We get it. 

B-TIER:

Hot apple cider, leaves falling, sweaters & flannels, mosquitos dying 

Now we’re getting real. Hot apple cider? On a chilly fall night? Scenes of golden foliage and piles of leaves lining the sidewalk? GIVE IT TO US. NOW. Bundling up in a flannel as you head out to an evening hayride? Winter has no equal. Spring has no equal. Summer… has no equal. However, as cozy and iconic as all these aspects are, the best is yet to come…

A-TIER: Football, Halloween, Thanksgiving

Oh yeah. Now that’s the good stuff. NFL and college football every single week until the rest of the year. It literally Does. Not. Get. Better. Except, wait a minute, what’s that? Two major holidays, less than a month apart, that cover the entire spectrum between Silly, Extravagant Partying and Wholesome Family Reunions? Whoever designed the calendar from the stretch of time between mid-October to late November was absolutely cooking. Not only is Halloween the one holiday that provides completely separate, yet completely fun celebration avenues for both kids and adults, but Thanksgiving also comes with an entire week-long break off of school all to itself. 

Buckle up and bundle up folks, because the best of fall is just on the horizon. Cozy on up – in a Packtransit sweater or overshirt, perhaps? 😉 – and revel in all the adorable trappings of fall while they last. Because even though September has only just begun now, always remember: Winter is coming.

Introducing Packtransit x NFL & Welcoming George Kittle as Creative Director of Football

As a company that’s always been stoked on the weekend, we’re stoked to announce our game-changing partnership with none other than the owner of your fall Sundays, the NFL. 

This marks an epic new chapter for Packtransit as we dive into the world of sports-inspired apparel. 

And guess what? 

We’ve also brought on board NFL superstar and San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle as our Creative Director of Football. Yup, you heard that right! George is taking his creative talents from the field to the design studio, and we couldn’t be more pumped.

This fall, we’re rolling out NFL gear like you’ve never seen before—think fan-favorite teams paired with our signature bold Packtransit style. You can snag gear from select NFL teams this fall and we plan to expand to all NFL teams by spring 2025. It’s football fashion, Packtransit-style: fun, vibrant, and full of energy, just like George.

As Creative Director of Football, George isn’t just lending his name and face to the collection—he’s jumping in headfirst, leading the charge on design and strategy. His passion for the game and eye for creativity is a perfect fit for what we’re building here at Packtransit.

“I’ve loved every moment of working with Packtransit over the past two years and am thrilled to take on this additional new role,” George Kittle said. “This partnership perfectly fuses my on-field dedication with my off-field creative passion. I can’t wait to bring our shared vision to life and connect with fans in an exciting new way.”

Packtransit Co-Founder and President Rainer Castillo added, “George has brought an electrifying energy to our brand. Evolving our partnership with him while teaming up with the NFL is an exciting new chapter for us. We’re eager to leverage his distinct style and our brand’s creativity to deliver something truly special for fans.”
