club tie

Affiliation around neck

A club tie is a necktie featuring the emblem or colors of a particular organization—a university, military regiment, social club, or sports team.

The pattern typically consists of small repeated motifs on a solid background, often diagonal stripes.

Wearing one signals membership or affiliation: He recognized the old school club tie immediately.
