We scoured Etsy, Pinterest, and sorority blogs from eight years ago to find some of the all-time best fraternity coolers out there. Mountain weekend, beach weekend, formal -- it doesn’t matter the occasion. You’re not truly initiated until a girl paints your Igloo.
Here's some of our top picks.
Best Cooler For The Ages
A bit Baywatch, a bit comical, this one will take you past frat formals and weekends, seeing you through grad school and potentially even onward given its undated, classic design.
Best Interior
She’s a keeper if she jazzes up the inside. Accolades to the photo stylist who propped the coozie's.
Best Pop Culture
Who doesn’t love "It’s Always Sunny"? Or if you’re a Phi, the fact that your letters also appear in the show's name. We like the break from standard brand logos and beer references, and we especially like Danny Devito’s floating head.
Best In Class
If she really has your best interests in mind, she’ll forgo the paint job altogether and get you something you’d pair with cigars and fine whiskey.
Best Basic
We like your style. No time for outlining imagery, tracing stencils or blending sunset pinks. You think your Igloo functions just as well without latex paint and ambition.
Best Chubbies
Or, "Best Thighs."
Best Sunglass Sunset
Perhaps the most common design we've seen these past seasons, the classic Ray-Ban's and mountain sunset is done well here, note the Van Gogh take and impressionist brush strokes. Add a cursive font seen most often on wine labels and a handy map, and you're all set.
Most Fun
We’ll take it.
Best Go Against The Grain
Wood finish? Wallpaper? Actual artistic talent? Plastic? We don’t know how they did it, but we support anyone who thinks their coolor lid should be made of wood (see Best In Class).
Best Take On Patagonia
It doesn’t seem to get old. A nice touch on an old favorite no less.
Best Silhouette
We appreciate the detail on the Blue Moon.
Best Mascot
Congrats to Clemson and LSU, their Tigers tied this one.
Best Graphic Designer
Mountain weekend cooler or outdoor outfitter logo? These two tied it. And likely, sourced the same image.
Most Irrelevant
Great to see you chance, but why?
Best Uncle Sam
Enough with the American flags and Budweiser branding. This Fourth of July, try stenciling on Uncle Sam and an imperative boozy statement.
Best Stadium
Because only one end zone matters.
Most Romantic
And he met her last weekend.
