where to get some gear

hey,
does anyone know where i can find some t-shirts for usc --- ones that aren't super focused on the fact that they have a great football team

i.e. shirts that spell out university of southern california and don't have a picture of the trojan on it

is there a class of 2013 shirt anywhere?

Haha, I'm guessing the OP has never been to the bookstore? Only a small portion of the clothing explicitly states "USC FOOTBALL" or anything along those lines.

yeah, but i'm talking about shirts that don't give the connotation "hey I'm a usc football fan".. even if it doesn't say usc football, if i wear around a shirt that has "USC" and a picture of the trojan on it, nobody will think "oh, that's the college he's planning on attending"

anyone know what i'm saying? like at my school, 5 out of 10 students have worn a usc shirt or sweater at some point.. i see at least 5 a day walking through the halls.. i'm not saying i'm not a usc football fan, i just want something that says 'this is my college next fall and i'm proud of it' (figuratively speaking of course)

^I like your idea but I still don't understand.
(I think maybe you've had some brainwashing and you have to detox. It's OK to be a Trojan!)

If you do find a shirt that has the connotation you are looking for, post a link because I'm very curious. Good luck!

(I hope this post comes across as I mean it- light-hearted- I'm just teasing you!)

A USC T-Shirt that doesn't say "USC" or have the USC mascot on it? And you want the T-Shirt that doesn't say "USC" or have a Trojan on it to clearly state to all onlookers that you are going to be a USC Trojan in the fall. Hmmmm....

You'll get one at Orientation - last year's was really nice and said nothing about football (I think you get one at Explore, also), but you won't get that until after school is out for the summer...

Maybe you could have one made at one of those T-Shirt screen-printing places? (Then post a picture of it so we can picture what you mean!!!)

Maybe something like this? Just the university seal, no Trojan whatsoever? This is from the bookstore:

Haha I know exactly what you mean, I see SO many kids every day - all football players, actually - wearing USC gear. And they're only baby freshmen!

LOL cc411. I believe if you produced those shirts you'd sell at least 2600 of them in a flash.

Most of the stuff in the bookstore is non-football related.

It's difficult to figure out what you want exactly, because there is a fine line between something being kind of "athletics-related" and simply collegiate. This isn't limited to USC. Look at any college's clothes and they tend to be mostly in the "collegiate" style.

Ex: H USC Block Tee-Trojan Bookstores

That's what I would call "collegiate". There's nothing that implies athletics anything, much less football.

I think I've got some work to do before it goes to the presses...
