Soton's Shameful Stash

Chances are that most of you reading this have got some form of Southampton Uni branded kit or stash knocking about somewhere. Maybe a hoodie or t-shirt. But did you know both SUSU and the University have their own ranges of merchandise? Read on for some of the worst uni-swag that you can buy.

For 40 quid you don’t even get the official logo!

A steal at only £39.99, an “official” University onesie can be yours! But first, whip out your uni-branded wallet (£13.99) as this shopping trip is going to be a little dear.

Don’t forget your laptop bag (£22.99, branded obviously) before you head to lectures. Make sure you keep warm though, the wind off the coast is pretty nippy. So put on your scarf (£20), in fetching University colours of course, and if there’s a little drizzle no fear! You’ve got your official university umbrella (£10).

Warning, wearing this bag will result in being called a briefcase wanker

So you return from lectures, what’s more relaxing than a nice cup of tea? A nice cup of tea from your EMBOSSED SOUTHAMPTON MUG (£6.50). You’re not an animal though, make sure you put it down on a UoS coaster (£7.50, more expensive than the mug…)

“Hello ladies, why yes this IS an official University tie. No, wait, come back!”

After a busy day of lectures, you’re thinking about hitting the town and impressing the ladies down Bedford Place. How better to do that than rocking the Uni tie and cufflink combo (£20 + £12.99 respectively) Of course, you have to pre-lash in style so splash out on two engraved University of Southampton Champagne flutes (£40 for the pair)

“Oh graduation bear, you bring comfort to my empty, unemployed life”

Of course, you can re-use your tie and cufflinks at graduation. Never fear, if you’re desperate for some more stash for the finale of your uni career you can pick up a tube for your degree certificate (£6.50) and an adorable graduate bear (£12) to keep you company as you cry yourself to sleep every night after realising post-graduation life is meaningless.

All products featured above are, unfortunately, real and can be found either on the University’s online store or from the SUSU box office.
