Academic Scarf - Definition of Clothing Apparel Search
In many British colleges
and universities, sets of
two or more colors have
traditionally been used
as part of the distinctive
visual identity of the institution.

clothing and symbols of
all kinds, from ties to
trophies, but notably in
the long woollen winter
scarves that students often
wear to show their pride
in their Institution. Initially
sported by students from

traditional secondary
schools. Oxbridge
Within the Universites of Oxford and Cambridge, in addition to collegiate scarves, there are also several non-collegiate scarves which have a well established meaning. For example, those representing the University in sport may be entitled to wear a particular scarf, depending on their level of achievement, or a university department or club may have its own scarf.
