Rarely are the name and colors of Yale a regular sight in Harvard Yard. But the impending gridiron struggle of The Game has spawned a small cottage industry among Harvard's student groups: anti-Yale T-shirts, in a variety of colors, sizes and degrees of good taste.
The first to appear were the gray shirts made by the Crimson Dance Team. Bearing the slogan, "Yale--
Helping Rejects Feel Like Athletes Since 1701," the shirt has enjoyed runaway success.
According to member Maritess F. Panlilio '02, the Dance Team has "surpassed our goal [for sales] by twice, at least."
The Dance Team, which Panlilio said was in its third year of selling shirts, will use the proceeds to fund a trip to a national dance competition in the spring.
At $7, the Undergraduate Council fields the least expensive shirt on the market, while others cost between $10 and $15.
But unlike the other organizations, the council does not sell to raise funds, according to Campus Life Committee member Melissa A. Eccleston '04. Instead, the Council provides them at a reduced cost as a "service for students" to facilitate school spirit.
Eccleston said that in previous years the council had engaged corporate sponsors and distributed the shirts free of charge.
