Shades Say the Obvious: "Yale Sucks"

Weather predictions for Saturday are partly cloudy, so this year, you may not actually need sunglasses for “The Game.” But if you’re in the mood for some shades, you can protect your eyes from the sunrays while still maintaining your Harvard school spirit.

These sweet shades come with two different messages, “GO HARVARD” and “YALE SUCKS,” allowing you to—if you get both—stay positive in the first half by rooting for your alma mater and following it up in the second half by adding a little insult to injury when we’re winning 35-3 (hopefully) in the fourth quarter.

Even more enticing, this protective eyewear—which comes in pink, blue, yellow, or green—costs $5 dollars each. Have friends and want to save a little money? You’re in luck. Regan Bozman ’13 and Jacob D. Roberts ’13, who are selling the sunglasses, also have a “Blocking Group Special” that comes with four pairs for only $15 (for you English majors, that’s $5 in savings)!

“Our business plan consisted of a Venn diagram: one of the circles had people who like neon sunglasses, and the other had people who hate Yale. Harvard students happened to fall in the little area in the middle,” the duo wrote in an e-mail.

“We had a product that all Harvard students would want,” they added. “Besides vuvuzelas. Those things are awesome too.”
