ACS wearing other school's apparel

He walked by my desk wearing a University of North Carolina hat? Seriously? I usually remind students wearing another schools colors what school they attend... but now our own players are wearing other college colors? This may not be a big deal here for our football players to wear another schools apparel. It's just one of this little things that gets me riled up. I can tell you from experience this would not go over well at many schools. Imagine Nebraska's QB wearing another schools hat, he would be burned at the cross.
 
Probably happens more often than you think. UNC is a fairly popular basketball school, especially w/ younger people.. wearing their gear is kind of a status thing.. I guess? I'd be concerned if he was wearing CSU or BYU gear.. or any other MWC gear, but I'm fine w/ UNC.. no one gives a isht about their football team anyways. :)

Maybe because UNC is doing so well in basketball (4 & 3)? He wears that rag (and has worn it) for quite a while, this isn't just a "lately" thing. Let kids be kids...as long as it isn't our conference, regional opponent, regional rival, who gives a shit.

I wonder how many UNC football players are wearing Wyoming apparel?

I am going to throw out a guess...ZERO. Because we are low budget shitty assed UW (says Tom Burman).

BUT, how many UNC football players are wearing OTHER schools shit (USC, Michigan, Notre Dame, Etc)? I would bet everything I have that the number would be quite a few.

I moved out here from North Carolina and I can say in the 6 years I lived there I saw a BIG ZERO wearing Wyoming colors. I am not just talking about UNC football players I am talking about the whole state of North Carolina.

That's funny. I worked for Time Warner for a while and our office moved from Denver to Charlotte. I commuted back and forth for about two months before deciding I'd rather live in Colorado. However, I saw a Wyoming hat in the Charlotte airport. I've also seen them in Mexico. Even ran into a guy with a Wyoming hat at Harper's Ferry WV.

And for the comment about losing a bet? WTF? I wear my brown and gold with pride. I guess some don't.

When I was in the military we found a Michael Jordan T-shirt buried in the bottom of a river in El Salvador and when I lived in PA there was a truck with a Wyoming tag from the 70's or early 80's but that is the best I can do...

They probably don't even know where Wyoming is. But it's like it's been said in previous posts. i've seen KU basketball players wearing Duke hat's just cuz it's cool looking.
Seriously, as long as he's got a #5 brown jersey on during football season, I'm fine with it.

When I was in school at Barclay College, I wore Wyo apparel all the time. That didn't change how I played for Barclay though. I was still committed to where I was going.
 
There is a surprisingly large amount of Wyoming dudes up in Alaska...I wear my UW shirts in Fairbanks all the time, and I get stopped occasionally with a "nice shirt" or something similar.
 
Ya I Was actually pretty surprised running into a fair amount of Wyoming fans in Tempe and surrounding areas seemed a bit odd.
 
Further...I know we are all UW fans here, but how proud do you feel wearing UW attire at this point? Maybe if had more wrestling & rodeo shit, we would be fine.

I still wear my UW stuff with pride! I spent 5 long years at UW and I will always and forever be a Cowboy fan...no matter how shitty they play!

I do. I wear my Cowboys hat(s) and sweatshirt (when warm enough) whenever I can. I also wear my leather Cowboys coat.
