There is no point and no justification no matter how one looks at this idiocy. This is not a degree, diploma or medal, which would have had to be AWARDED and could not have been purchased. It's a jacket that was officially and legitimately purchased; therefore, it can be worn by anyone who wanted to buy a stupid thing.
My kid bought me a mug from his University for Father's Day. Do I have the "right" to drink coffee from it if I didn't go to that U? Same goes for Calgary Flames named jerseys. Do we have the right to wear them?
This whole controversy stinks of bigotry and intolerance.
