Nike Confuses USC With that School Near Diddy Reese.

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 andR&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 akey lime LA on it. We like to get extra funky sometimes.

But honestly Nike, what the hell is this !@%%?

SC 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 likewearing 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 theuniversity. 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 amsure 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.

Its not a mistake. Nike is just doing a lot of experimenting with their new college line. Most of the apparel they have produced has nothing to do with schoolcolors. Probably a subliminal at UCLA.

Yup. They have a bunch of UNC gear in Green and Red colorways. Coming soon to a Nike Factory store near you.
 
Wish they would sell some FLorida gator stuff in a Factory store in So Cal, but I know Im just wishing on a star.
 
oh, i get it now. it's kinda like that situation where what's his faces sister was dating dude from OSU a couple of years back and she wore the morphedjersey.

it's all clear to me. if you a chick and your brother goes to ucla and you are taking pipe from some dude over at usc, she can rep both teams all at once.

I think it was A.J Hawk's sister who was dating Brady Quinn and it was tOSU v ND in the Fiesta Bowl.
 
^ other way around

Brady's sister was dating Hawk..........She was to good for him imo

I saw that while I was browsing Swoosh. It wasn't just UCLA colors, it was Trojan gear in green as well.

Like someone said, "Coming to a Nike Factory Store near you". Nobody is going to buy that $%*$.
