Wisconsin is bracing for the arrival of the Alabama Crimson Tide in Week 3.
Ahead of that B1G vs. SEC matchup, fans in Wisconsin have the opportunity to pick up some unique merchandise at one retailer.
A store in Madison is now selling shirts that read “Roll Badge,” an obvious play on Alabama’s famous “Roll Tide” slogan. Alabama beat writer Nick Kelly shared photos of the merch on Wednesday evening:

The shirt is apparently available in red with white writing and white with red writing.
Entering into Week 3, both the Badgers and Tide are sitting at 2-0. However, ESPN’s Football Power Index (FPI) gives the Tide a 92.1% chance to win this game.
The Badgers have failed to impress this season against poor teams, playing to closer-than-expected final scores in both weeks. The team beat Western Michigan 28-14 in Week 1 and beat South Dakota 27-13 in Week 2.
Meanwhile, the Tide have looked much more impressive in their matchups. Led by Kalen DeBoer, Alabama demolished Western Kentucky in Week 1 63-0. In Week 2, the Tide struggled initially against South Florida before blowing it open and leaving with a 42-16 victory.
This B1G vs. SEC matchup will kick off from Madison on Saturday at noon ET.
