This snowman has been kitted out in a college scarf belonging to a member of Churchill College, Cambridge.

In many British colleges and universities, particularly in Oxbridge (the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge), sets of two or more colours have traditionally been used as part of the distinctive visual identity of the institution. These colours are used in clothing and symbols of all kinds, from ties to trophies, but notably in the long woollen winter scarves that some students wear to show their pride in their college. Such colours and scarves exist at non-Oxbridge colleges and universities as well, and also in more traditional secondary schools, but are particularly associated with Oxbridge.
