Default Do you display your school or team on your vette?

How many of you proudly display your alma mater, favorite school or professional team somewhere on your vette?

I have my Vandy decal on my hatch glass. Black and gold colors go with Carbon Flash Metallic paint, even though you can't tell much from this photo.

Yes, I know Vandy is no sports powerhouse, but hey we did win the college baseball world series this year.

I love stickers but would never put one on any of my cars. All over my tool boxes in the garage but not on any of my cars. I know it is a long shot, but I don't want to give a hater a chance to single my car out while I am not there. Not sure if that makes sense but as an example, I am an Angel fan in Dodger country. Why risk having a pissed off Dodger fan take out his anger on my car? Maybe a little paranoid but it is a possible problem that I can eliminate. Political stickers, sports teams, affiliations, etc., they all have an opposing side who may or may not be tolerant of my opinion on the subject so I do not advertise.

I have always kept my car clean of any decals that may incite vandalism. Although, so far, I have left the small personal decal of the last owner on the side of the rear window, who is a knife maker, as a possible dissuasion for vandals!

As a reinforcing anecdote, the guy who purchased a friends 2006 DSOM sent a pic a month after he bought it. He was at a Texas VS. A&M game, no decals on the car at all; when he came out of the game, someone had put a heavy key line down the side of the car.

Yes. I have a pewter license plate frame from my school, and also a small sticker showing that I'm a member of our sports booster club.

Part of having those items is for safety when I travel to games at my school, particularly if we're playing Alabama. My car is Crystal Red, pretty much the same color as Alabama's crimson, and I have Alabama license plates. So I don't want some "energetic" fan on my own campus to to mistake me for the 'enemy'. Unfortunately, I've seen bashed in windshields on visitors' cars.

No, mostly because I just don't put stickers on my cars.

But also, I got my B. S. degree from 3 different schools.

I do not like putting things on my cars, but being a UT person perhaps I should put longhorns on the hood.

Didn't want to add stickers or a plate, like the look of the body colored frames I have both front and back. Just installed a WindRestrictor with my school name.

I just got new license plates with the Seahawks logo/background on them.

My car is pretty much just for fun so I don't normally have to put it in any perilous situations.

It never ceases to amaze me that small personal things can set off totally idiotic behavior in others.
