Urban Outfitters Has Harvard Apparel

Do you want Harvard gear, but sick of the usual mark-ups on Harvard apparel? Urban Outfitters, the choice de rigeur for many collegiate hipsters and pseudo-hipsters alike (though some would hesitate to admit it), turns out to be an under-explored treasure trove of potentially Harvard-related apparel. Already attracting some attention with its Harvard-Yale shirt, the rest of the brand seems to be following an Ivy trail. We hereby present a slew of seemingly Harvard related apparel for your amusement and benefit. Many items, especially t-shirts, are on discount; good news for those budget-minded!

Fortune smiles upon proud Pfoho residents, who may don the latest polar bear sweater currently featured in the Cambridge store’s window display. And, even if you don’t make it to the party, you can still show your pride with a Make it Rain t-shirt. Similarly, tree-related items for nature-loving Currierites is in abundance, with choices varying from a tree shower curtain, an upside-down tree, and a very popular tree tapestry that can also be used as a bedspread or futon cover.

Next, Quincy residents can choose from a small, yet adorable range of penguin-themed items, including a booty buddy and a t-shirt featuring penguins who are too cool for school.

Other Houses can also choose from a range of mascot-related items: Leverites can happily indulge this winter in this cozy bunny sweater and these Monty Python slippers. A crimson-colored lion dominates this tee that those in Winthrop can purchase for the measly price of $24, while friends in Eliot can now proudly display their geeky side with this elephant tee at the same price. And, to show off their love of the moose, Dunsterites can accessorize with this hat and matching mittens.

Fish-related items for Cabot are unfortunately lacking. For consolation prize, here is a pair of creative fish socks...totally adorable, but who will get to see it apart from the washing machine?

CORRECTION: December 6, 2010

An earlier version of the Dec. 5 FlyBy post "Urban Outfitters Has Harvard Apparel " incorrectly suggested that Mather House's mascot is the tiger. In fact, its mascot is the lion.
