Nike fails at USC apparel

This has been a hot topic lately, I'll link the blog site, but it's true.

 

Blah.  You can see it for yourself at this Nike link.

 

Unless I am being punked this is absurd.  Unless I went spontaneously colorblind, this is utterly insane.  Nike spends more money on their products and ads and R&D than almost anyone out there.  I know sometimes spicing up a team’s clothing designs sparks sales.  Sometimes, we like a Dodger hat in brown with a key lime LA on it.  We like to get extra funky sometimes.

But honestly Nike, what the hell is this?

 

 

USC gear in UCLA colors.  Unless you come from a “mixed marriage” of a Bruin and Trojan, who the hell is wearing these things?  This is honestly like wearing a t-shirt with a picture of another guy having sex with your girlfriend on it.  It’s brutal.  It’s a bastardization of all that is right with the university.

Is there no intern at Nike that spoke up and said “yo, these are UCLA colors, dude”?   No one?

 

I honestly think I’m being deceived here.  There’s no way this can be real.  Is this the best hoax ever or the worst planning ever?  You tell me.

I am sure Bruins will buy this though.  They can finally wear the logo of a winning team to their football games without being pointed at in a crowd.

All right, all right.  I’m having a little fun at UCLA’s expense.  That said, I am sure they don’t like this anymore than the Trojans do.  Brutus Buckeye dressed in Maize and Blue?  The Sooner Schooner draped in Burnt Orange?  The Yale Bulldog in a crimson sweater?  What on earth was Nike thinking?

Oh.  They weren’t.

Meh,

One of my highschoolers has one and loves it because it annoys the hell out of her Bruin classmates. It’s kids stuff.

It’s one of the good things in life, so thin skinned are they.
