  • The wearing of academic scarves is a tradition found at many colleges and universities in English-speaking countries, and particularly in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Sets of two or more coloured stripes have traditionally been used as part of the distinctive visual identity of these institutions. The scarves are usually made of Saxony wool and traditionally 6 feet (c. 2m) long. The colours are often derived from the colours of the official coat of arms and/or the varsity colours, and are used in clothing and symbols of all kinds, from ties to trophies, but notably in the long woollen winter scarves that students and alumni wear to show their pride in their institutions. Some universities have different scarves for different faculties and even for undergraduates and postgraduates. Some may even have a 'combination scarf' where one side is in the university's colours and the other the faculty, etc. colours. Traditionally, academic scarves would not have further embroidery on them, such as arms or logos, as the stripes are sufficient to identify the scarf's origins and affiliation; however, at some universities such as Cambridge it has become usual for scarves to be embroidered with the college arms. Furthermore, universities might change their design and colours from time to time, usually during re-branding exercises, or if there isn't an 'official' version that has been widely used. At some universities, 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. In addition, some colleges and universities have (for example) separate scarves for senior clubs such as their Boat Clubs. Academic scarves are to be distinguished from other types of scarves that are officially sold by the institution themselves which often use different colours and are embroidered with logos and other emblem, or designed/made differently to traditional academic scarves.

  • Ношение академических шарфов — традиция многих британских и ирландских колледжей и университетов. Наборы из двух или более цветных полос традиционно используется как часть отличительного фирменного стиля этих учреждений. Шарфы обычно изготавливаются из саксонской мериносовой шерсти, они около 2 метров в длину. Цвета факультета используются в одежде и символике всех видов, от галстуков до трофеев, но в значительной мере в длинных шерстяных зимних шарфах, которые студенты и выпускники носят, чтобы показать гордость за своё учебное заведение. В некоторых университетах, в дополнение к академическим шарфам, есть также несколько неакадемических шарфов, которые имеют устоявшийся смысл. Например, те, кто представляет университет в спорте, могут иметь право носить особенный шарф, в зависимости от уровня их достижений, или университетские кафедра или клуб могут иметь свой собственный шарф. Кроме того, некоторые колледжи и университеты имеют (например) отдельные шарфы для приоритетных клубов, таких как их «лодочные клубы». (ru)
