“Fuck Forever” T-Shirt Throws The Distinguished Manhattan Yale Club Into A Fuming Tailspin
It’s pretty clear that not all Rowdy Gentleman apparel would be welcome at the revered Yale Club in Manhattan.
Members at the private club for Ivy Leaguers are irate after one of the younger members wore a t-shirt reading “Fuck Forever” inside the gym locker room. These “declining dress standards” are bullshit and old rich men are not going to tolerate it anymore.
From Page Six:
The storied Ivy League private members club, housed in a 22-story neoclassical clubhouse near Grand Central Terminal, is holding its annual meeting. But members are complaining about a failure in enforcing the dress code, which insists on “business casual” and that “neat, respectful appearance is required at all times.”
One member wrote in a letter to the club, “A horrifying example of this denouement, this sad decline in the atmosphere and spirit of the club, occurred on September 5 in the men’s locker room. A young man (a Yale law student) was wearing a tee shirt emblazoned in large letters with: ‘F - - k Forever.’ I was shocked and told him that it was offensive and inappropriate; that this was a club for ladies and gentlemen. He smirked. Why was he allowed through the front door? Why did those on duty at the desk at the locker room allow him to enter? Why was he allowed to walk around the club dressed as such? Is there no decency at the club anymore, no class? Will the management be held accountable (and members)?”
How I read his letter:
“Is nothing sacred anymore? The prestigious Yale Club will not be overrun with a bunch of goddamn disingenuous, arrogant millennials in their $25 swag. Maybe the Dartmouth Club allows this kind of nonsense. I’m sure the Cornell Club could even find a leadership role for him. But the Yale Club? If I see his punk ass in here one more time I will email the law school dean and make sure no prominent New York law firm looks at his resume after graduation. Please stop little fucks like this at the door next time, or I will handle it myself.”
Tank tops and shirts with the word “fuck” on them are not business casual. Please stop ruining the Yale Club with your garbage clothing..

Every other article these days promotes Rowdy Gentleman
10 years ago at 10:02 amThey’ve been going more subliminal about it recently, writing an article then dropping a rowdy Gentleman reference, dorno is learning a lot about subliminal messages from all those children Disney movies he’s been watching.
10 years ago at 12:13 pmAs a member, I can promise you that nobody wears rowdy gentlemen at the Cornell Club.
10 years ago at 10:04 amGentleman* but I still ^’d
10 years ago at 10:10 amI guess that shows how little I know/care about the brand.
10 years ago at 10:12 amOr that you don’t know how to spell gentleman.
10 years ago at 10:25 amLookie here, lads! The encrusted stain of afterbirth on the passenger’s seat of a Ford Taurus in Arkansas learned how to spell “gentleman!” And they say science isn’t advancing.
10 years ago at 10:50 amKiss my pasty Irish ass.
10 years ago at 11:14 amYour comments combined with your name is starting to ruin one of my favorite childhood movies. Fuck you.
10 years ago at 11:50 amI feel like this was just a comment to tell everyone you went to a school with nerdy Asian kids. Congrats tho.
10 years ago at 11:29 amPerhaps The Texas State Club allows such apparel.
10 years ago at 10:10 amCause we like to party
10 years ago at 11:07 amK.
10 years ago at 10:13 amYour articles kinda suck.
10 years ago at 10:32 amMaking your club disappointed and your dad laugh at the same time. TivyleaguefratM
10 years ago at 10:39 amIvy League is the best league
10 years ago at 2:02 pmApparently these down votes are from people who have never been to Brown’s Law School
10 years ago at 2:55 pmWhat the fuck are you talking about
10 years ago at 6:12 pmHell the Sooner club doesn’t require you to even have an OU degree much less a shirt on. You can find a chapter in your nearest trailer park.
10 years ago at 10:41 amBy OU do you mean the hippie town “college” of Athens, Ohio?
10 years ago at 10:43 amReading isn’t your strong suit, is it? Sooner=Oklahoma.
10 years ago at 10:55 amHonestly, I have no problem with having the kid not wear that shirt at the club. If the dress code says business casual, then wear business casual. If you don’t like it, request a change be voted on or leave the club. It’s the Yale Club, not the SEC Kappa Sigma club.
10 years ago at 11:05 amSounds like he’s part of “that Yale thing”
10 years ago at 10:58 amyou realize the Dartmouth club is in the Yale club and those members have the same access to the premises
10 years ago at 11:04 amThis is definitely NSFW
