Harvard Bumper Stickers

<p>I was trying to shop online for some interesting harvard bumper stickers for my parents but I could found was either the boring, plain "harvard" ones or the ones with a long string of message. Can anyone on the forum shed some light on which website to get the interesting harvard bumper stickers?</p>

<p>I’ve seen window decals for Harvard at the Coop- and yes they simply say Harvard. What would call “interesting” ones?</p>

<p>^maybe something that has one of the slogans used on the tee shirts “friends don’t let friends go to Yale” ? :D</p>

<p>EDIT: oops, just saw that OP doesn’t want one with a long string of message either.</p>

<p>Actually “friends don’t let friends go to Yale” would be sth perfect that I was looking for. The string of long message that I was referring to was sth stupid like this “I have a degree from Harvard. Whenever I’m wrong, the world makes less sense”. I mean seriously?! Who the heck is going to buy this kinda of bumper sticker?</p>

<p>My favorite one is FALE*</p>

<p>Bump… Where do most of the Harvard alums buy the bumper sticker?</p>

<p>We don’t.</p>

<p>But our parents did. And they got them at the Coop. Just a plain Harvard seal.</p>

<p>did anyone even get the joke with the asterisk and everything?^^</p>

<p>Personally, I think school bumper stickers are a bit low brow. If you’d like to support the university, donate some money. If you want to brag about your kid’s accomplishments, limit it to people who you know will put up with it. Pride is one thing. Advertising your accomplishments to the general public is quite different. Just my two cents. Get them a nice banner to hang in the house.</p>

<p>Low brow? So be it. It’s their damned car, it’s their damned life. Mind your own affairs, and question your own insecurities before you question others’.</p>

<p>Obviously, this is entirely a matter of personal opinion, and, MckskittlZ10, you’re completely entitled to yours. But for me, this makes a total of one person I’ve heard express this opinion.</p>

<p>My parents did put college decals on their cars, and I’m looking forward to putting one on mine. YMMV.</p>

<p>And I second everyone else’s advice: they come from The Coop.</p>

<p>Welcome to the world of the H bomb. That’s what the Harvard kids call it. It’s particularly bad if you live near Harvard. If you have a Harvard decal on your car or wear a Harvard sweatshirt/t-shirt, you get a “Well well well, aren’t we just special” response from a lot of people. When strangers used to ask my son in passing where he went to school, he’d often say “in Boston” just to avoid the “BOOM” reaction. Around here, it doesn’t happen with any other schools.</p>

<p>We have a small, round decal on the side window of our cars. It is a personal matter, and I AM proud of where my son goes, just as I’m proud of where my daughter goes (not Harvard).</p>

<p>It is interesting some of the responses from people when they ask D where she is going to college and she says Harvard. The comments are all over the place. Some are snarky while others are really happy for her. D gets frustrated and has started to say she is going to school in Boston.<br>
I agree with EnoughAlready…I am proud that my daughter will be attending Harvard but I am just as proud of my D that attends another college(not Harvard).</p>

<p>In H Bomb Land some people will think you are an obnoxious braggart for merely mentioning Harvard even when directly asked where you (or your kid) go to school. For that reason I never put any Harvard stickers on my car. You never know when you are going to park where some resentful person will see it and decide to vandalize your car just to teach you some sort of lesson.</p>

<p>I did wear T-shirts though. To hassle you for that a rude person will have to confront you directly. Not so in the case of your unguarded car sitting in a parking lot.</p>

<p>My husband and I have a Harvard sticker (me) and an MIT sticker (both of us) for our car. We find it sort of amusing to have those stickers on our tiny, cheap hatchback. :)</p>

<p>When asked where I am going to college I respond: </p>

<p>“I wanted to go to a school called Harvard, but then I got rejected and went to Yale…”</p>

<p>I’d check eBay before paying Coop retail.</p>

<p>Wow - I finally get it! You’re Mollie B. at MIT, not Mollie-Bat-Mit! :D</p>

<p>^It took at least a whole year of reading Mollie’s posts on CC for me to figure that out :o.</p>

<p>This is not uncommon – it’s not as transparent a username as I imagined when I made it up in 2003. My friends from MIT call me mollieb, and my friends from the internet call me mollie-bat-mit. :wink: And of course my Harvard email doesn’t make a cute internet username at all.</p>
