“Honk if I’m an Aggie” (bumper sticker)

“Honk if you love Jesus” was a popular bumper sticker saying from 1971. The bumper sticker spawned lots of other “Honk if you…” imitations, but one notable “Honk if I’m…”
 
The “Honk if I’m an Aggie” joke bumper sticker dates from at least 1990. Even some Aggies display them!
   
       
19 March 1971, Pasadena (CA) Star-News, pg. 7, col. 1:
Bumper stickers call for a response: “Honk if you love Jesus.”

Pg. 214:
“Cow colleges” and “football factories” became interchangeable. Clemson and Texas A&M, it seems, have had to bear most of the burden of much of this humor—for example, the bumper sticker “Honk if I’m an Aggie”—but it abounds everywhere rivalries arise between the land grant school and either an older military order—VPI versus VMI—or a private school—the University of Tennessee versus Vanderbilt.
