<p>I actually think that wearing a rival school’s shirt, although in poor taste, isn’t as bad as some of what I’ve seen parents wear on college tours. I just returned from a few college visits where several fathers were wearing beer t-shirts, and a number of the mothers were wearing things (I hesitate to use the word “clothes”) like tube tops, overly tight short skirts, and high heels (on a walkaround tour?). That’s why I don’t think this is a ■■■■■ post.</p>
<p>As I suggested before, if he really feels the need to wear his college’s attire, he can wear it under other clothes, well-covered and never to see the light of day on his son’s campus – or he can wear his school’s color without the logo. Maybe that will give him some feeling of school pride without making him look bad and embarrassing anyone. Most of all, he should be supportive of his son, whatever that takes.</p>
