Yet, I do love my “University of American Samoa – Law School” sweatshirt.
(Not from Primark)
I wonder if it’s the opposite over there, like someone wearing a teeside uni jumper
As an American living here, whenever I see one of those shirts I chuckle to myself. “You wouldn’t be wearing an Indiana shirt if you’d actually been there, because then you’d know what a boring shithole that state is.”
I made one for myself the other day that says ‘Piltover Academy – Department of Science’ with the logo in the middle. Piltover is one of the main cities in the sci fi/action/drama TV show, Arcane 😁
It’s usually an American Football thing, the State Universities featured are usually last years winners. The same as Wallmart selling UK football shirts.
I once chatted with a guy who went to uni in America, he showed me the logo on his jumper for one of the societies he was in and it was a chicken holding a shotgun
Never forget, a fashion company in Japan done this with random Scottish town names 😂
Apparently they sold well to
Closest I have is a Miskatonic University hoody.
T-shirt with [Beach name] 1974 summer.
My personal fun encounter – I was in Amsterdam few years back, someone from US spotted me and were like “oh, didn’t know they had fans in Europe!” and I was like, “pardon me?” – apparently I was wearing some obscure football club jumper, that was a bit embarrassing, I don’t buy stuff like that because I think it’s silly, but got it as a present
Boston hoodie wearer here 😭😭😭
Maybe in the US they wear like Suffolk uni and shit?
I would purchase one of the ivies if I found one 🤷♀️ think i used to have yale trackies
Unless it says The Miskatonic University, I don’t want it.
If you visited as a tourist *maybe*. But a place you have zero connection to is really weird
Ehhh hypocrites. I visited Kentucky and there were tons of Americans going around with UK merch.
When I lived in Preston, mid90s, there was a trend of the University of Central Lancashire students wearing UCLa hoodies, it was a wonderful twist, that typical font, and just the lower case a
Mine says Open University.
It’s in Openshire.
Japan has started putting random Scottish towns and boroughs on their clothes.
I refuse to buy anything with a random American
Shit on it anymore after an elderly Spanish tourist tried to make small talk with me about California.
Can you image some American walking round with “University of Coventry” on their hoodie thinking it’s prestigious 🤣
I had to search for a baseball cap that didn’t have some American sports team before I went to the Caribbean, just to avoid the risk of an American talking to me.
I’ve never met “Calvin Klein” but his name is embroidered inches from my penis.
I want one with North Sentinel University on it
I follow NFL but college more loosely. Similar experience in the States. Was staying near a Bowl game once with Ohio State and Auburn involved and their fans were everywhere.
More embarrassingly I have a USC t-shirt. A guy stopped me in Tesco once for a chat and I had no idea what he was talking about.
Just a reminder, Lockheed Martin (yes that one) has a korea exclusive clothing section. Anything is possible.

I like to imagine there’s someone in middle America rocking a Loughborough University shirt
I was actually planning a trip to Canada and needed some hoodies but felt immense shame at the thought of wearing a US slogan on there.
Cos in the UK, everyone knows if it has a US reference, then the top is cheap. I didn’t want my Canadian family to know I was poor 😂
Reminds me of this.
