Hmmm…I am sure that I have a wolf t-shirt or two amongst my vast collection of Yosemite t-shirts. I always assumed that a pretty wolf t-shirt (not a tacky one–seen plenty of those) were for wildlife lovers. And there are plenty of those that frequent National Parks (like Yosemite).
I am not rich, I drive an old beater car and I wear a lot of jeans and t-shirts, but I don’t look like I’ve been “ridden too hard.” I am passionate about Classical music and lots of other artsy-fartsy stuff. No mullets in my family tree, either. So I don’t think I fit the profile.
:shrug: I do think that I am familiar with the “type” of wolf shirt user mentioned in the OP, but I can’t say that it is the only stereotype I’ve encountered. Too many wolf t-shirt wearers are “Sierra Club types,” like me.
Nah Theios, I think it really depends on the condition of the shirt. Most of the time I have seen it has been down the road from where I live at a white trash festival we call “SantaCalaGon days”, the shirts are generally too tight, dirty, or has holes in them. (or all of the above) Generally this is also followed up by a huge gut that hangs out underneath the shirt, pale tiny legs and a fanny pack.
There’s a stall on the indoor market in my town (small market town in NW England) selling wolf T shirts. I don’t see many people wearing them, but I imagine the stallholder does a reasonable trade.
Oh sure, but since you’re in A’vl, you’re surrounded by type #3. I swear, sometimes when I go home to visit, downtown Asheville seems to be engulfed in a cloud of patchouli…
re the OP: As a former attendee of NC State University (GO WOLFPACK!), I’m somewhat distressed at the revealing of this unpleasant association. School spirit is manifested by wearing a shirt with some kind of wolf emblazoned on it, and one you get tired of the mascot-caricature, you’ve got fierce, proud wild animals as your decor du jour.
Personally, this sounds JUST LIKE the kind of baseless rumor typically fomented by those limp-wristed, powderpuff-blue whiners from over at Chapel Hill in order to distract attention away from their conference basketball rankings…
Honestly, NCSU is the best technical & engineering school in the state, and just because it also happens to be the best agricultural school in the state, attendees get painted as rednecks…
Lordamighty, Tygr, you’re not wrong about the patchouli. It’s easier to get your chakras aligned than your tires aligned in this town. And as a fellow NC State alum, I can sympathize with the “Cow College” rep.
