I went to the university in Salamanca Spain, founded 1218.

There were a lot of old buildings, but nowhere was there a Salamanca U t-shirt as a souvenir (and FYI, the Rome University sweatshirts aren't official--the biz school sells some polos, but that's it).




Exactly. The BBC must show us a Nalanda U hoodie, with a copyrighted logo, or else abandon these wild claims! Did this so-called 'university' even have a lacrosse team??

Irony notice: this comment contains irony.


Uh I don´t know what this has to do with the rest of the discussion but... The University sells some official swag through their "Mercatus" store, including clothing, and in fact in recent years had a lot of it related to the 800th aniversary.

But it also tolerates every souvenir shop in the town selling shirts and hoodies showing the university seal, which I guess makes them kind of "semi-official". Many students wear them.

Anyone curious can enter "Rua Mayor, Salamanca" in Street View and look at the front of every other shop in that street...


It was before that. Maybe they got my strongly worded comment card and took it to heart.
