Bold, Beautiful, Balaclava.
I like looking good but I also like wearing college merch because of the societal conditioning and the seemingly corporate appropriation of the college experience. But when I go into the bookstore, there are always the same few sweatshirts. I want more—so much more. Here are just a few options.
Why Not Be Y2k?
- Velour Tracksuit that says Columbia University on the chest and “In the City of New York” on the ass.
- Alternatively a velour tracksuit with Barnard on the tits and of Columbia University on the ass.
- Millie’s crop top!
- Barnard Babe/Bimbo bedazzled baby tee.
- Baby tee with cartoon farm animals on it and “Barnyard” in bubble letters on top. must have cowboy boots on it.
Sales Can Be Sexy!
- (Slutty) Roaree and Millie Halloween costumes.
- UTS lingerie.
- Bikini Deantini Wall Calendar .
- Sheer Barnard “B” or Columbia “C” tights (imagine the Gucci tights but Barnumbia).
Roaree fursuit.- Bring back the thongs bedazzled with “Barnard” in rhinestones, and let the rest of the undergrad schools have their own versions too.
- Bedazzled Columbia boxers.
For All Kinds of Your Relationship Needs!
- Barnard Step-Dad hat.
- Barnard BF/GF/SO hats.
- Barnard lesbian shirts.
- “Property of a Barnard student” on the ass of some sweatpants.
- The Millie Barnard tape design but on condoms.
- Make a Barnard DILF hat and this campus will never be the same.
- Barnard MILF too!
- SEAS #1 fan merch line. Sweatshirts and pants and t-shirts.
Trendy Thingz!
- Barnard Balaclava.
- “Bold, Beautiful, Balaclava” stitched on the front of a balaclava
- A boat captain’s hat that says “Barnumbia” or “Cumnard.”
- Loafers with a gold “BC” on the front.
Useful Things!
- A set of Barnard barber tools for when you cut your bangs at 3:00 am in the floor bathroom.
- Barnard reusable drinking straws.
- Prezbei-nder.
- Vitamin D Tablets.
- Masks that have Roaree or Millie’s Face.
- Big B and C pool floaties for the fountains.
Design Diversity!
- Columbia sweatshirts that say Barnard in parentheses underneath.
- Merch with the Columbia College Crown (please, it’s so aesthetically pleasing why is it always the more modern crown).
- Clothes with the shield embroidered.
- Cumnard or Barnumbia or FUCC.
- Matilda the Harlem Goat Merch Line
- ~~~!
- “I survived the core curriculum and all I got was this lousy t-shirt”
- Knit sweater with a Crown or a C (for when you want to be a true Connecticut prepster.)
- Or a B for Barnard!
- Use the university seal!
And If All Else Fails:
- Just affordable sweatshirts.

@Anonymous Barnard Boi gear, too!
@jon fwiw, someone on this campus was sporting a “barnard boyfriend” t-shirt inside the old business library the other day. what a trendsetter
@CC '94 These are actually killer ideas, would spend life savings on this merch
@Anonymous Barnumbia is not a term that Columbia University students have ever used, even as evidenced by your own survey. Further, Columbia and Barnard have separate bookstores and sell separate merchandise. You generally will not find Barnard merchandise at the Columbia bookstore
@Anonymous cool—we be shakespearing out here then #swag
@Anonymous so true slayyyyy #winning
@Anonymous PSA to all columbia men: pls save your bad takes for canvas discussion posts, the rest of barnumbia will thank you
