The middle of August has arrived, which means Illinois State University is welcoming back Redbirds with open arms. Packing up and returning to school can be both exciting and nerve-wracking, particularly when picking what stays at home and what comes with you.

Luckily, there’s always the option to add to your collection of Redbird gear! We’ve created a great list of go-to essentials you must have to start the semester on the right foot. Feel like you may have left something at home? Don’t worry, our back-to-school guide gives you a great list of what you’ll want to go back to school in style. 

We love to see Redbirds in their new gear! Be sure to show off your back-to-school style by tagging @ISURedbirdsShop on Instagram! Have a great start to the year, Redbirds!
