Ever wear merch around at college/school?

[CosmicHooves 2,705]

Back in high school, I legit wore a Fluttershy t-shirt around, and didn't think twice about it.

Wish I had the same lack of care today as I did back then. *sigh*

It's hard to be yourself when you're afraid of being labeled as weird.

Nope. I didn't want the people I'd be around for the next nine months to think I'm weird. The most I did was put a small Derpy sticker on my water bottle, and even then I kept the bottle hidden or turned so nobody could see it.

On a related note, freshman year of high school I was very openly a furry, and had I watched MLP back then I'm certain I would have worn merch for that to school, too. It was pretty cringe, but I kind of wish I could be as expressive as I was back then and not be nervous about it.

Anyway, here's the Derpy sticker on my water bottle.

I have but it was way back in middle school, around 2011. I wore a "I was Derpy before it was cool" shirt under my jacket. I had part of it showing and some guy tried to brohoof me but I was totally lost in what he was trying to do and awkwardly stared at him.

 

*Edit

 Apparently it was 'Derp' and not 'Derpy'.

Nope, but I also didn't wear merch of any kind now, and these days I almost exclusively wear plain white t-shirts. I believe I have a derpy shirt, some doctor whooves and DJPON3 socks, but I've never worn them because I didn't want to wear them out and maybe they didn't fit either? They were gifts. I was never worried about people knowing I was into the show, I've just never been big on having or wearing stuff from it. Doesn't match my aesthetic.

Nah, I don’t have any MLP merch, and if I did then I wouldn’t wear it as I’m not really a fan of the show anymore.

[ShadOBabe 18,997]

Yup! I wore my Derpy mailbag purse everywhere in college for years. It was really fun because one time some touring high schoolers spotted me and squealed like, “EEEEEEE DERPY!! I LOVE YOUR BAG!!”

Twas fun. XD

I never had a MLP merch type clothing myself, but I have a brother who had a Fluttershy "Umm" shirt. Where he ware it occasionally to school.

I like MLP, but not enough to sacrifice my social standing lol

I put a Twilight Sparkle sticker on one of my notebooks in Grade 11. It wasn't very large, so nobody could really notice it.

Well the last time l had mlp clothes is when l was shorter and it was many years ago. I grew out of my mlp clothes and l never got any new mlp clothes after my old ones went away. So no because l don't have any.

The only thing I "wear" is a Discord keychain. It's on my car keys and I have it outside my pocket mainly because it's kind of sharp. Usually while I was in class I would have my keys with my other stuff on my desk. People seem to like it and ask what it's from and I just say "oh, just some cartoon"

[ToastedScone 397]

If I had the confidence to actually wear the thing, I'd happily wear my Celestia dress...it isn't the pony part that's embarrassing, honestly, it's how damn SHORT it is!

I remember a few times in High School I wore my MLP shirt (my mom back then wasn't a big fan of me wearing pony stuff to school so I had to be sneaky about wearing anything pony to school). By the time I started college she had loosened up about the "no ponies in public" rule so I openly wore several MLP shirts to class on several different occasions, in fact I even brought in my Fallout Equestria hardcover book and used it as a prop in my Public Speaking class in which I basically stood in front of the class and told them all about FOE, it was great  Of course since the virus hit I haven't had any in-person classes so I haven't really been wearing my pony shirts, however I did wear one today when I met up with Lucky Bolt and Sliding Bolt from right here on the forums irl at a restaurant not too far from where I live, so that was really neat

Back in college I wore a pony shirts couple times and nothing really came much of it. 

When I went back home I wore them around in the streets and again nothing really came much of it. 

Was just out enjoying myself

Never wore pony shirts at community college, but I've always worn them at work and when I go out now and no one has ever given a shit. Even got a compliment on my Maud Pie shirt not too long ago.

I was an insecure fuck then and I'm still an insecure fuck now, so I never really did that unless I wanted to make an ass out of myself from time to time. If I ever did, I was usually wearing a sweater over it. Otherwise, the most I'd do was have MLP buttons on my bag
