Thinking of taking in a long island Lutheran basketball game with potential POI Kate Koval. What is the etiquette on wearing Connecticut identifying swag such as a sweatshirt or hat. What are the potential pluses and what are the potential minuses. Some insight from more experienced board members would be appreciated.
To do or not to do flying UConn colors

You should wear all of your UConn gear, and sit by yourself off to the side with a clipboard. Stroke your chin occasionally.
Nod your head in approval whenever she does something good and write stuff down at that point.
Hang around in the lobby after and tell us how many people come up to you.
On a more serious note, wear whatever you are comfortable with. Certainly no problem with wearing UConn gear.

I agree with all of that. I wouldn't go out of your way to talk to her. Definitely don't mention UCONN (your swag will do that) and above all else, don't give her anything. No water, no towel to wipe her brow, don't share your popcorn and lastly, no cash to come to UCONN.You should wear all of your UConn gear, and sit by yourself off to the side with a clipboard.

Do report to the BY how she played though. That's kind of a requirement.

Yup. Like others I have said, wear your UConn gear. Not like you are affiliated with UConn (are you?) in anyway. Folks love seeing UConn swag at games. That is the plus side. The down side, folks will ask "Who are you here to see?" like you are recruiting somebody. Wear that gear my friend and enjoy the game.

I always wondered about this as well though I know very little about the rules. What stops someone from doing that? You constantly hear about how strict the rules are around recruiting, so how has no one used the rules against a rival in that way?

My oldest jetsam and flotsam are photos of The Poughkeepsie Popper and Toby Kimball. Radio with the Dean. And my first visit on a spectacular Saturday in 1962. Couldn’t wait to enroll. A lifetime of games later and the fight song is still a thing of beauty. Wear whatever feels like the University of Connecticut at its best. You can’t miss.

The NCAA will let a school know they may be out of compliance. If you wear a South Carolina shirt and “recruit” a high schooler, the attorneys for South Carolina will be at your door to interview you.
The document hasn't been updated since 2018 for NIL, but I found this document on the UConn website about UConn's 'UConn Intercollegiate Donor and Fan Guide'. Might be worth posting a summary or link to this guide on the 'Boneyard Rules' sticky post.

There is no etiquette . Just pretend you are going to a Jets game. But bring your Husky , if you have one.
