[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personal opinion: I find it weird when middle and high schoolers wear Ivy shirts. Not pretentious. Just, like, nobody used to do that, you know? But I don't think most people blink.

And I'm not wealthy enough myself to know about less-obvious wealthy vacation destinations, so that would sail right over my head.[/quote]

I’m not a sports person but people have been wearing shirts, sweatshirts, hats from professional and college since I was a teen in the nineties and I’m sure before then. My kids have been wearing Red Sox and patriots gear since they were born. Many first baby gifts were of Boston sports. I remember the teenage boys representing various college sports teams when I was in high school. Maybe if it is Georgia tech or Boston college it isn’t pretentious but if you are wearing Yale it is??[/quote]

I did specifically mention older kids, and it's because...they're close to going to college themselves. At some point, they're going to want to identify with their own school.

It's perhaps different if it's "KU Basketball" on a kid whose just a fan, you know? Because it's not abnormal to be a fan of the big state school in your state and go somewhere else. But, like, other than crew is Harvard really known for any sports?[/quote]

Yes, teenagers wear sporting teams of pro teams and college. I have teenagers and elementary kids. They wear snoopy, hello kitty, college, us open, spirit wear, etc.

My older teen used to wear more college clothes but recently stopped only because kids are now applying to colleges. I don’t think he wants to get the gear of a school
He wants to attend and not get in. [/quote]
