I attended four universities, two Ivy and two state. I have and wear stuff from all four.

I'm not sure how anyone could argue with this completely reasonable response.
I'm wearing the hat AND the sweatshirt when I go to a game to watch our admittedly terrible football team.

Well, it seems that people are mean.
My kid goes to Harvard and she sent me a shirt. So I will wear it if I want to the gym, to Giant, to go for a walk or anywhere else.
I really don't care what anyone else thinks.
I can't believe people are spending so much time thinking about this. But, of course, I just spent 60 seconds responding.

I stopped wearing college gear when the stuff I had from college wore out.

I went there so I'm wearing it on occasion -- like on a lazy Sunday or out running errands so if you see me at the dry cleaners in my ivy shirt, oh well. Don't really care what you think. Reality is most people hate bc they couldn't get in -- that's the simple fact -- and then there's the sour grapes of oooohh my state flagship is just as good. I'm sure it is -- so you wear you're state flagship gear and let me do I want with my ivy gear.

Don’t hate on my Jackson Hole quarter zip. I wore it yesterday! But I don’t wear gear from my Ivy alma mater. Not sure why.

I don’t understand people who wear vacation gear for a ski resort or beach town they went to once. College makes sense to me - you spent 4 years there. Vacation gear makes sense to me if you have a house there or have been going to the same place every year forever and it is part of your family’s culture / collective memories.
Well, in my case, it's because I went somewhere and was out without a sweatshirt and it got unexpectedly chilly.

Wow, you got kicked out of a lot more places than I did. I want to party with you, Garth.
Hah! This includes grad schools and one transfer.

I literally care nothing about what anyone wears. As long as you don't stink, I'm fine with it.

My kids always want to buy souvenir hats and sweatshirts from any random beach town we might spend a weekend at. I get why it seems strange, but they view that stuff as souvenirs to remind them of a fun weekend. It's usually only about $10-15, and more useful than a snowglobe or refrigerator magnet, so I don't fight it. Maybe that will help you understand.
