<p>Being a ducks fan (from Oregon), if I got accepted into UW, I'm guessing it would be a good idea to leave the duck jersey home? I'm just wondering, um, if the university has a ton of school spirit and would spit on a ducks fan or perhaps a 'Cougs fan, or anyone not supporting the school team for that matter. Or if it would be no big deal. Thoughts? </p>
<p>Maybe I should buy a Huskies shirt and just support the school until I graduate. I'm not some crazed Ducks fan who would kill in the name of their team, I'm pretty "neutral"... or, calm I suppose. I'm more of a baseball person anyways... (Go redsox!)</p>
<p>UW is one of the most “school pride” type schools I’ve ever seen. It seems like everyone on campus owns at least one uw shirt/sweatshirt/etc…as you’ll see it everywhere on campus once school starts. </p>
<p>However, I don’t think anyone would be violent to you for wearing the ducks, maybe curious looks though. </p>
<p>Don’t buy a UW shirt just to blend in (that’s how it kinda sounds from your post).</p>
<p>Yeah I don’t think anyone is going to be violent against you, haha. But it might not be a bad idea to leave the ducks jersey at home – I do think it’s kind of weird to wear another school’s apparel when you aren’t going to that school. Just my opinion, though.</p>
<p>No problem wearing it in your dorm, if you want. Don’t worry too much about it. Don’t be flaunting it, anyway.</p>
<p>I wear other schools’ sweaters to class sometimes when I just want to throw on something warm and my UW stuff’s in the wash. Nobody really bats an eye at it, save for some of my friends teasing about how I like the other schools more =P</p>
<p>Seriously…nobody cares. It’s not like you will be duck taped to a tree or anything. Although, you may be looked at like your “special”. In otherwords, you took the short bus to school. We don’t tease the special kids…</p>
