By Chuck R Stewart

There is a strong sense of pride that fans have towards a certain university. This college could be where they attend, where they graduated from or the school closest to where they live. To show off this pride, many people of different schools like to purchase merchandise that shows their school allegiance.

Having pride in a particular college is something that has been around as long as colleges have existed. Fans of these schools do not always attend these schools to be huge fans of them. Simply living in the area or the state where that university is located is enough reason for many fans. For example, many people living in the state of Ohio are huge Buckeye fans whether or not they went to school at The Ohio State University. Other people are obviously the students that go to that school. It is quite challenging to be accepted to most universities or colleges today, so the pride students have for their school is very strong. The last segment of the people that support a school are the alumni of that college. They support the school where they went to throughout their lives.

How do these various segments of people support their schools and exemplify their school pride? Most fans purchase college merchandise from the school store or a variety of different online websites. The items sold that sport the school logo is widespread and the big fans go wild buying as much as they can with the school logo on it. People enjoy to buy clothing in the school colors and with the logo as well as any accessories available. Umbrellas, stuffed animals, flags, stationary, toys, games, and blankets are just some of the things that fans buy.

The fastest growing type of college merchandise that is being purchased by people who have pride in their school are items for the home. Many internet websites are now selling higher quality furniture and items for the home that show the team colors or logo in an understated and tasteful way. Wooden chairs and other nice furniture in addition to artwork and lamps all round out this category.

Lamps are one of the most popular items that are presently being offered. There are several college lamps that people can buy. They sell more affordable ones that are perfect for current students living in a dorm setting as well as more costly ones that look terrific in an upscale office in a multi-million dollar home. For dorm use, students love the flip or clip style lamps with their school logo or mascot on them. They are inexpensive, space saving and produce a low glare for when their roommate may be trying torest. Floor lamps in a 70's style are also big hits with students. They can be manipulated to whatever direction you want the light to shine. And finally, a classic Tiffany style lamp with the school name looks fabulous in your home for years to come.

Most folks are fans of a school whether they went there or not. To show off this pride they purchase college merchandise to show off that school spirit to feel more connected to that particular institution. The internet has made this easier than ever for people to support their school pride.
