I have heard the argument made its inappropriate to wear appeal from a school you didn't go to as it somehow is a insult to those who actually attended and is pretentious. I have also heard its duping people into thinking you are attending or did attend.
I don't see the issue with it though it might depend on the school. Harvard or Stanford is a world renowned institution held in high esteem the world over. It shows you support the university as an institution. I don't think its duping anyone.
What is your opinion NSG?

yeah college brand clothing is never, like, good. It's just branded.Reploid Productions wrote:Seems kinda silly to wear college-branded stuff for a school you didn't attend, but then I also don't have any college-branded stuff from the college that I did attend, mainly because I just sorta find college-branded clothing silly in general. Really, while I may think it's silly, being a fan of a particular college and owning/wearing appropriately branded stuff isn't any different from wearing stuff with your favorite sports team's branding, or stuff with the branding from a particular TV show or video game you like so... you do you?

Wear it. It's not an insult to be a willing billboard advertising their college, nor is it an insult to show that you admire them through your choice of souvenir.
Is it an insult to wear a John Deere cap without ever having owned any of their farming equipment?
Is it an insult to wear a Steelers jersey, despite not being in the NFL?
People just have too damn much time on their hands trying to police everyone else.

IMHO, in grade school and high school it's fine, maybe you want to attend there later in life.Lord Dominator wrote:I used to have a MIT shirt I would wear all the time, but maybe I could get away with it as a HS student at the time.
I think there could be two "subquestions" here: 1) absent of a dress code or other regulations, is it OK to wear college apparel for somewhere you don't attend; 2) should there be a dress code or other regulations regarding college apparel on the campus of another college/university?Lord Dominator wrote:Personally it seems kinda silly to limit apparel wearing like that, let people wear let they want.

Funny you mention John Deere. I have a John Deere hat. I never once considered it a insult to the company. Your giving them free advertising.
