Dennis: Be True To Your Kid’s School

When our kids head to college we seem to become, whether we like it or not, walking billboards for their schools - hats or tee shirts, jackets or windbreakers - all with the college’s name on them. Our daught  er will soonbe graduating from CWI - College of Western Idaho - and until yesterday, there were NO logo’d shirts, hats or anything that a proud papa could wear. Until (Sept. 1) … That problem was solved and my sweet daughter gave me a CWI gift. How fun to wear her “colors”! How proud we are of her many years of working toward her degree/ Dennis Mansfield .

DFO: I’m with Dennis on this one. I’ve worn paraphernalia from every one of my kids’ college stops: Linfield, University of Portland, UColorado School of Medicine, Portland State, and University of Florida. My 2 favorite items are a T-shirt showing an alligator in a doc’s garb for the UF medical school and the appealing black-and-teal baseball cap with a stylish Viking my daughter gave me when she entered grad school.

Question: Which college garb have you worn to advertise your kids’ colleges?
