Scottish University Sweat Shirts

[macwilkin]

Ron -- just a personal observation here: I do not wear itmes, regalia, etc. with the emblems/seals/arms etc. of universities I did not attend and/or receive a degree from. That's just me, but I feel that I would be saying that I was an alumni of that particular school when I wasn't. I know a lot of fans do this to support a particular team, and I have no problem with that. This is just my own personal discipline.

Cheers,

Todd

Thought about that, but hey, you'll see on most college websites "alumni and supporters."

Like, I sent my daughter to University of Arizona, never attended, but sent a lot of money there...for me, that entitles me.

When I was in university myself as a young man I was a university sweatshirt junkie. It was quite common to exchange university logo sweatshirts with friends and cousins at other schools.

Wearing that school's logo was just that, wearing a school's logo, not a claim to fame.

I often wear a University of Oregon sweatshirt because I grew up in Oregon and like the color combination. But my only claim is that my sister went there. I went to arch rival Oregon State, but still enjoy wearing the UofO colors.

Often bought sweatshirts for universities I'd visited...sort of like Hard Rock Cafe shirts from various cities.

Bought two Northern Arizona University sweats last month. Never went there, but they're the closest university to our remote city, and have an extension campus here, so I support them.

Never been much on rules...and do enjoy blending cultures and fashions. If I was a lady I'd be wearing one of them red hats in a heartbeat :-D

Would that be as in 'red hat and no drawers'?

I had to ask.

I supose I ought to get out more.

Ron, I may be off the mark here, but most Scottish schools have a school 'uniform' that students are required to wear to class. When you have to wear a logo, five days a week, it takes a bit of the thrill out of wearing it on the weekends too.

I wear a uniform shirt with the embroidered logo of the company I work for and the very first thing to hit the laundry basket is that shirt, every single night. I have zero desire to wear a sweatshirt with that logo on it, when on my own time.

How many veterans do you see wearing G.I. clothing, once they have been discharged?

[Riverkilt]

Good point Mike.

I wore one of those company uniforms for years too, and police, and fire dept.

Didn't realize they still used the uniforms at the university level though.

My dad, a combat fighter pilot in War 2 for the R.A.F. and Army Air Corps (Dieppe, Kassarine) was glued to his old A-2 jacket. Course they are a fine jacket.

The few sacred visits I've had to "The Wall" have seen many vets in the gear of their era. Don't know if they'd wear it day-to-day or just for the pilgrimage to that most holy site.

I don't imagine they do uniforms at the Uni level, but by that time, ordinary, non-descript street-clothes are probably the order of the day.

I know I've seen American sites with European t's on them, but I'll be hogswaggled if I can find one of them now. This is all I can find:
