It’s not just Texas...it’s up here in blue PA.
My next to youngest son played basketball straight thru HS (and is on practice squad at his college). Since he was about 6 or 7 he has been a HUGE Duke Basketball fan. He admires Coach K (In fact HIS Twitter got loaded by friends congratulating on Coach K’s 1K win). Needless to say most of his childhood wardrobe involved Blue Devil attire.
TWICE it was pointed out to me that the Blue Devil was INAPPROPRIATE. In gyms.
...I guess the Grumman F6 Hellcat fighter and Curtis SB2C Helldiver bomber would be just out.
Also in North Carolina. I had a Pentocostal employee who would not let her grandchild watch Scooby-doo because it was “occult.” I pointed out that, on the contrary, the shows never dealt with the occult, because the culprit always turned out to be the caretaker or a disgruntled relative in disguise, who would have gotten away with it if not for the “meddling kids.”
