[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I feel like I'm in an alternative universe.  College t-shirts and sweatshirts are extremely common where my DC goes to HS.  They are worn by kids in all grades.  And, yes, plenty of people do get gear when they have visited a school they actually like.  [/quote]

NP here. Love the divisive energy, people! You can tell folks are a little on edge waiting on those ED results. Let's everyone take a deep breath! For all of you bad mojo folks out there in the responses, I appreciate your perspective even though I don't share it. As we should all hopefully know from Crash Davis, if you have superstitions, you have to respect them. So if buying the gear before the decision comes in is bad, just like touching the Prince of Wales trophy before the Stanley Cup finals is bad, I respect your voodoo. But to PP's point above, maybe it shouldn't be this complicated. Kids of all ages wear all types of college gear for any number of reasons. My oldest went on a college visit w/in the last year and my youngest asked for a t-shit from the school. It's early but I bet younger sibling will have no actual interest in this school (or even this flavor of school). They just liked the gear. Maybe we should be a little less concerned about how people spend their t-shirt money.

It should go without saying that I wish you all good fortune in the wars to come. [/quote]
