<p>A UPitt t-shirt that was given out for free during my visit there</p>
<p>A Carnegie Mellon zip-up hoodie and sweatpants that I bought with the free money I was given to spend during a program there.</p>
<p>In all honesty, I would not purchase any apparel from colleges unless I am accepted and decide to attend the college (or if it was free). I just find it really awkward to walk around one campus wearing another school’s apparel (accidentally did that once when I was walking around Carnegie Mellon wearing the Pitt t-shirt and people stared at me quite a lot).</p>
<p>4 or 5 Texas shirts, a Texas sweater, and crap loads more of Texas merch, good thing is im actually pretty much guaranteed to go there so my obsession with my Longhorns is acceptable </p>
<ul>
<li>UPitt tee that was free when I toured</li>
<li>University of the Sciences shirt that they gave me</li>
<li>Lourdes University shirt that they sent me (I have never even heard of the school)</li>
<li>Harvard t-shirt that I have owned for years</li>
<li>A CMU sweatshirt that is in Hebrew that I purchased purely because of it being in Hebrew</li>
</ul>
<p>I refuse to buy/own clothing associated with schools I am applying to before I get in…</p>
<p>I own way too much. I just got one from Mercy today (it was a part of their acceptance package). </p>
<p>In response to an above post, I remember on my first college tour (freshman year) I saw someone who did that. We were touring Yale and the person had a Brown shirt on. It was strange.</p>
<p>I like to buy t-shirts as souvenirs when I visit campuses.<br>
-Yale shirt
-Cornell shirt
-Harvard shirt
-Brown shirt
-Many UIUC shirts
-Duke shirt
I’m saving up for the day I get accepted into college because I’m going to buy soooo much of their apparel, unless it’s a safety.</p>
<p>I own two Yale sweatshirts (my parents worked there when I was little). Although Yale is my top choice school, I would never wear those (or any other college sweatshirt) in public unless I’m accepted. I’d hate to be a walking billboard for a college only to later be rejected, but that’s just me.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m cheap. ;D I just don’t see the point of buying a shirt and wearing it if you aren’t already accepted. There are all kinds of tools at my school who wear HYPSM t-shirts that have very, very slim chances of actually getting in and I guess my distaste towards them has influenced my attitude towards college shirts.</p>
<p>I also am not one for college sports either and nor are my parents, so that also probably plays a role in the dearth of college clothing at my house. I’m sure that once I actually get accepted I’ll start wearing college gear.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, and I also generally despise hoodies. So yeah.</p>
<p>Only two. I bought a Harvard shirt at Target years ago that I’ll only occasionally wear, and UChicago sent me one. A lot of people at my school buy a hoodie from all the schools they visit. I wouldn’t buy any college merchandise unless myself or my sister went there.</p>
<p>(I have a Kent School hoodie too, but my friend who went there for a year gave my friends and I them for our birthdays.)</p>
<p>I have a Baylor shirt that I got for free when I visited, but that’s it xD. I’m not going to buy any colleges shirts until I get accepted somewhere. All these people wear Harvard and Yale shirts/sweatshirts at my school, and they look really silly</p>
<p>None because I know nobody in college…The only person in my family who has gone to college is my aunt…And her two oldest are in college but they’re two states away…And my cousin who graduated last year is taking time off before starting nursing school…</p>
<p>Nothing.
My parents were in college a long long time ago and are NOT the types to buy college apparel (and either way I’m NOT the type to walk around in a Brooklyn College sweatshirt…). If I get into my target colleges I’ll probably buy something just for the heck of it… and subsequently wear it for pajamas.
However, I do have a New York-Presbyterian Hospital sweatshirt because my cuz is a nurse there… does that count as Columbia and Cornell? :)</p>
<p>A ton of LSU garb as a fan and former Louisiana resident
A CU Boulder shirt because I thought the buffalo was adorable
A Naval Academy sweatshirt and I don’t really know why because I’ve never been there and don’t remember buying it.
A lot of Illinois stuff (my parents’ alma mater)</p>
<p>Same as the others. Neither of my parents or step-parents went to college. My grandfather went to college but that must have been 50+ years ago.</p>
</p>
I got it for free at a competition. </p>
and nor are my parents, so that also probably plays a role in the dearth of college clothing at my house. I’m sure that once I actually get accepted I’ll start wearing college gear.</p>
