it just dawned on me the other day something kinda significant about the tshirts that Clark wears. In the scene int which Jonathan Kent is talking about the spaceship, he mentions that the thumb drive was analyzed at K-State (Kansas State University, mainly Agricultural focus with bioengineering and metallurgy in there too). In the scene leading up to the tornado, Clark is wearing a KU (University of Kansas, engineering, fine arts, and law focused college) Jayhawk (A flying hybrid bird with a Red, Blue, and Yellow color scheme, hmm, how significant is that?) tshirt. To the casual observer that could be seen as geographically pandering, up to the point where you realize that those two universities have a LONG standing rivalry as any native will attest. The implication of the that scene is that as Clark rebels against John he goes away from a farm based mindset and is putting the meaning of his division from his roots on his chest. Later before the skull pit swallowing scene, its a Kansas City Royals tshirt, This is a point of unity and almost universally loved by native Kansans, Im wondering what if any tropes this would be a symbol of. Seem profound enough to warrant adding?
