I have a t-shirt with a pattern, but it's bears in red, buff, and green. My sweatshirt is black with red, buff, and green letters. I have another t-shirt you can just buy from online greek stores with red, buff, green layered letters on a white t-shirt. A gray shirt with red letters and white background screen printed on (cheap to have made, got as a gift...and no one on campus has red and white...that and I can't not wear it when it was a gift, so I do). And our recruitment jerseys that are white with red borders and red, buff and green letters...my other jersey is yellow with red trim, red letters with yellow dots, and green trim around those. It's not all the same. Most places make patterns with more than one color...I'm having one made in the fall for my birthday with a red/green plaid for the letters and a yellow trim...sounds ugly, but it looks cool, I promise. It's just a loyalty thing for me...but then again, I take that stuff very seriously. You won't see me wearing orange and blue (Auburn) if I can ever help it...and NEVER during football season.

People have, say, green shirts with tie dye letters, or brown shirts with blue letters (Chi Os have bags like that, actually)...that's not what I was saying bothered me, personally...I mean you won't see me doing it because I want only AGD colors...but it's the use of someone else's specific color combination on YOUR letters that bothers me...especially on my campus where there are only five sororities. I know a lot of girls don't look up all 26 NPC's colors. Don't really expect them to...I'm just a nerd and like doing it. But it's not that hard to avoid one of the five color combinations on campus.

-And she didn't say the sorority is a brand, but that the colors brand them as different, and this is true...I like being true to Alpha Gam, so I don't like borrowing others' color combinations or symbols. Mine are good enough for me.-

It just really depends on the campus. Our green and white intramural shirts were not confused with KD's Green and white "AOT wouldn't you like to know" shirts. All the chapters did it, and no one really had jerseys. Our sweatshirts, like our jackets, were ordered in bulk so they were the same but it didn't carry over anywhere else.

We only had 5 chapters as well and there was no reason for branding on my campus. Nor did we feel like were stealing each other's colors and/or symbols.
