Would generic New England ties be insufficient? Or would those go above the non-NEers but below the CT ties, with other things about equal?banjo wrote:Connecticut is a small market and you're competing with people from Connecticut who attended BU/BC/Fordham and T14s.

I think the second category is right. You can certainly sell New England ties, especially if you enjoy golf, skiing or the outdoors more generally. NE has a distinct culture.
