This garment combines a specific color, an affiliation with a university, and a style of clothing. The color evokes a sense of calm and is lighter than traditional blues. The university association clearly marks the wearer as a fan or supporter of that institution. The garment style provides warmth and casual comfort, often worn during sporting events or for leisure.
Apparel representing collegiate affiliations serves as a visible expression of loyalty and pride. Historically, such clothing has been a means of identifying with a group, fostering a sense of community. Beyond simple identification, the choice of color further refines the aesthetic, moving beyond standard school colors to offer a more subtle and potentially fashionable representation.
