Those who wear college shirts: Yay or nay?

<p>I’ll wear most t-shirts I get for free. Yesterday I wore a 'Guitar Hero" t-shirt but don’t have the game and have never played it but my D gave it to me after she got it free somehow. I also wore a really really nerdy looking free t-shirt from Borland (software maker) with a cartoon on it.</p>

<p>I wear UCLA and UCSD t-shirts but I figure I have a lot invested in those.</p>

<p>There’s always my son/daughter and my money go to ________</p>

<p>i still wear my college shirts and i graduated a few years ago… i see nothing wrong with it… heck, i still wear high school shirts as well, hah!</p>

<p>I wear my undergrad stuff to events and when I’m on campus only because I don’t look good in the colors. I wear my grad school stuff around town because it is generally dark green or black and I look better in those colors. I live in the area so that helps too.</p>

<p>I have a hoodie from a college that has my first name as it’s name. So I have my name in big letters on the front.</p>

<p>In my family, we love wearing T-shirts relating to places we haven’t been and things we haven’t done. My son particularly likes the “Neebish Island” T-shirt we got in a thrift shop.</p>

<p>My favorite college t is about 20 years old, maybe more.</p>

<p>It’s from The University of Mars.</p>

<p>The two mottos emblazoned on the seal are:</p>

<p>“E Glutious Maximus” and</p>

<p>“No if’s, ands; all butts.”</p>

<p>Those that remember the days of Howard Cosell may recall that UMars was also referenced as former NFL star Otis Sistrunk’s alma mater. :D</p>

<p>My S got TONS of free shirts from his U, plus he didn’t know what to buy us so he bought all of us some logowear before flying home for Christmas in his freshman year. We wear the clothes because it seems silly to waste perfectly good clothing. D was a bit annoyed with him, saying what if I decide to go to a different school? She ended up at the same U & is happy to wear the clothes. <grin> </grin></p>

<p>I see nothing wrong with wearing the logowear, even tho I think about where I wear it because I prefer not to antagonize unduly–the school’s football team generally defeats the school several family members graduated from or are currently attending, so I know when I wear a logo shirt to a family gathering there may be some football comments. It’s OK with me.</p>

<p>OP: Chill. Seriously.</p>

<p>As to wearing shirts that denigrate other schools: As a college student, I always went to the Cotton bowl to watch my college team play OU. Lots of OU fans wore shirts that read</p>

<p>Tuck Fexas.</p>

<p>This year I saw a girl wearing a shirt that said OWho? but it really didn’t carry the punch of the Sooners shirts.</p>

<p>Is it possible that the guy grabed just any clean shirt and it happened to say “Harvard”? Maybe he never went there, maybe it was somebody else in a family, maybe he got it in thrift store? I mean who cares what other people wear as long as they are decent? He was not naked and did not have dirty language on his clothe.</p>

<p>The OP started this thread more than a year ago. He has probably moved on.</p>

<p>OK–you hit my hot button–I find it offensive when folks wear vulgar or suggestive wording on their clothing, especially when they dress young kids in it who have very little choice in what they wear. YUCK!</p>

<p>I’m not a big fan of emblazoning a word in giant type on one’s rear end. What are these people thinking? Have they ever walked behind themselves?</p>

<p>Rant over…</p>

<p>“The OP started this thread more than a year ago. He has probably moved on.”</p>

<p>That’s too funny. I didn’t even notice the date of this thread. How do these things get revived so long after the fact?</p>

<p>I love wearing college sweatshirts. I want to get when at every college I visit =)</p>

<p>OP, what are you on? Can’t stand the fact that people wear what they want? Aw, boo hoo. Cry me a river. If you think people shouldn’t wear a college name, making threads like this will not help you. Accept that they wear something you wouldn’t and let them look ridiculous rather than anonymously complaining about it on the internet.</p>

<p>GROW UP!</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Well, there’s always the chance that in the year since this thread was started, he or she <em>has</em> grown up! ;)</p>

<p>I’m still trying to figure out Hunt’s first name:
“I have a hoodie from a college that has my first name as it’s name. So I have my name in big letters on the front.”</p>

<p>Can’t decide it I like him/her better as “Duke” or as “Wellesley” or as “Carleton” …
or, maybe the parents decided on Western Carolina Hunt…</p>

<p>Maybe Hunt’s first name is Reed?</p>

<p>Could be Knox, Smith or Colby.</p>

<p>Why is nobody guessing Rensselaer?</p>
