thanks for the reply and perspective. I guess i have been out of Tech so long i forgot wearing gear and letters = "representing". Nowadays, I wear stuff because i think they're funny (slacker shirts)... make for good conversation (pink pony t-shirt)... because I like the team, idea, company (Tech stuff, my bro's firehouse shirts, angel and dye soft goods, etc)... haha.
anyways... let me know if you guys change your minds... i only wear paintball gear for recball and i doubt anybody ever confuse me for a student.
