It's the middle of summer but, we are already in action for Fall 2012. The Colosseum Athletics photo shoot to display the Fall 2012 line was conducted in Greenville, SC just recently. We were looking for a picturesque location that gave the sense of tradition and team spirit. Sirrine Stadium ended up being the perfect fit. Lush grass and trees, old brick, a stone arbor, and beautiful pathways were ideal. Sirrine Stadium was first used in 1936 by Furman University and holds 15,000 people. Sounds small but, when I tell you that the seating still consists of the original poured concrete from the 1930's it sounds more prestigious. For those of you who have seen the movie "Leatherheads" starring George Clooney and Renee Zellweger, Sirrine Stadium had an appearance in there. The movie was shot in various locations throughout South Carolina, North Carolina and Tennessee. There must be something about the stadium everyone likes!
Regardless of the southern weather, the photo shoot was a huge success. We started early in the morning to help us out. However, it still ended up being 94 degrees, sunny and humid before noon. Imagine wearing hooded sweatshirts and pants while making it look like you're standing outside on a cool fall day. Yeah, not so comfortable. I felt terrible for the models but, wow, when you see these pictures ( on the website soon!) you will think they were taken in October. Thank you to our fabulous models and photographer! Here's a glimpse of some candid shots captured...
