Last Minute Ideas for Halloween Costumes

When it comes to Halloween, there are so many little vampires, werewolves and ghosts, ghouls and goblins, why not be a little different and make your own unique Halloween costume?

It just takes a little creativity or a perusal of some of my Halloween content to get some ideas, ya' know?

For a unique idea for a Halloween costume, how about an SEC football official? SEC officials were in the news recently in the Arkansas-Florida college football game for throwing bogus flags all over the field, benefitting the #1 ranked Florida Gators. Some college football fans call this phenoma "BCS penalties".

You see, in college football, the conferences employ their own officials. The SEC stands to gain much money and prestige by having a team in the national championship game and yet another in a second BCS bowl.

Thus, if the officials swallow their whistles when a highly ranked team commits penalties as the zebras did when Florida committed infractions or throws flags on the other team for no reason, they open themselves up to charges of impropriety. just another reason to favor a playoff in college football.

Anyway, just get a Florida #15 jersey or any orange and blue football jersey and wear it with football officials' pants and presto! You have a cheap Halloween costume that is topical and unique. You could add a few touches, also. If you have a german shepherd dog, you could don sunglases and have the canine act as the seeing eye dog for your SEC official.

If you don't have access to a dog, get some kind of cane which could pass for a blind man's cane. Or you could have monopoly money hanging out of the pockets. You could even do a combo of an SEC official and Pirates of the Caribbean with the official wearing an eyepatch, available at Walmart near the pharmacy.

For another unique Halloween costume, how about wearing a Florida #15 jersey and going as Tim Tebow? Of course, no Tim Tebow Halloween costume would be complete without a halo of some kind attached to his head.
