Varsity

A bold, energetic sports WordPress theme with a purple-and-magenta colour scheme and a curved banner edge.

Compatibility

Built for SportsPress and SportsPress Pro. The theme declares add_theme_support( 'sportspress' ) so SportsPress template overrides load from the theme's sportspress/ directory. WooCommerce template overrides are also bundled, and theme support is declared for mega-slider, social-sidebar, and news-widget to integrate with ThemeBoy's bundled plugins.

Design

Varsity uses a distinctive two-tone palette: deep purple (#7c4d95) as the primary accent (visible on table headers) paired with hot pink/magenta (#f32c5b) for links. The banner has a curved bottom edge using border-top-left-radius: 100% 100px. Navigation is uppercase with letter-spacing, and the current menu item is highlighted with a pseudo-element block.

The layout is fully responsive, so the design adapts to phone, tablet, and desktop breakpoints. Content width defaults to 1000px in the Customizer and can be increased up to 2000px through Appearance → Customize → Layout.
