I really wonder who would buy this stuff... I mean, a student who is seen by other students wearing a sweat-shirt of UGent, will most likely be the target of some mockery... We're no americans here, going to the Ghent university does not really cary a lot of prestige with it.
Not totally sure about that. Indeed, we're not that close to our university as Americans seem to be (at least in the movies), but I have a feeling that this is changing slightly. UGent has done some nice attempts to have a cool image and there's enough "we are better" feelings toward Leuven and Brussels to make some students want to show of with the fact that they're in Ghent. At least I know of some who just discovered the new sweater line and are thinking about buying one. I'd settle for the stylish USB stick :-) T.
