Personal
One company, one colour?
After school I studied at Imperial in London. The college was founded in 1907 by merging three older colleges on a single site in South Kensington. The college scarf reflects this: the colours of each constituent college are present. (And - on the reverse side - the colours of the University of London remind us that Imperial itself it just one part of a larger institution.)
The resultant scarf clashes with anything you might choose to wear, a perfect example of design by committee. (But who wears college scarves these days anyway?)
