When I was in college, I had a Penn State shirt made in pink and black, the school's original colors. Everyone at school thought it was awesome, but when I wore it back at home in New England, a couple of my friends said, "Ugh, why did you get one of those 'girly' jerseys?"
And when you tell people that Penn State's original colors were pink and black, it usually leads to a look of disbelief and a Google search.  |
The fact that you are a Penn State Alumna and you KNEW that makes me really happy! You are pretty awesome! Can you believe those were our old colors? I remember my sorority once had shirts made up in black and pink (pink for obvious reasons) and it said something about bringing it back to PSU old school style. I'll have to find that shirt.
Before going off to college, I tried to go for the grunge look and before that the hippy look (what was I thinking?) so, pink was NOT one of my choice colors. After joining I learned to LOVE pink and now incorporate it into my every day life. I love our symbol the quatrefoil because I see it all over: hotels, fountains, jewelry, churches, cemeteries, etc. I will def. be incorporating the quatrefoil and color pink into my wedding! I have to say that I LOVE our symbols--to include our mascot, the lion!
