As I work in an environment with MANY NPHCers, I don't feel weird wearing letters or carrying items with letters. It happens every day, and I actually blend in instead of stand out. This helps me feel comfortable wearing them other places, too. In fact, I don't even notice sometimes that I am carrying stuff. This summer I got on the plane wearing my alumni polo shirt. I got cold and pulled out my cobranded Autism Speaks zip-up. After we took off, I got out my Nook, in the leather carrying case with the crest on it. And put it all back into my lettered tote. I know, overkill. But I don't really pay attention to what is branded and what isn't!
