Sovan Patnaik ‘23 (left) and Malik Shelton ‘23 (right)are photographed together in the Tiered Classroom. College merchandise has proven to be a staple at Potomac. Sovan is repping the University of California, Berkeley. He has chosen to wear darker shorts to bring out the vibrant yellow “Cal” on his sweatshirt. His once white vans and quirky inside-out nike socks add brightness to his outfit. Malik is repping the University of Maryland. His outfit follows a grey-white color scale that allows the flag printed “Maryland” to stand out. His black Eddie Bauer jacket and black Nike shoes contrast well with his entire ensemble.
