Hilarious! Texas A&M totally confused...

[voldawgforever]

Couldn't help but to laugh when I saw this. Um...where is Texas? And why is North Carolina on it?

 

[golfballs]

i wish we added a couple NC schools

 

[voldawgforever]

Good recruiting grounds, and would have made more sense geographically... So I agree Golf

It must've been printed in the same place in KY where Cal got the key to the city with the misspellings on the plaque.

Maybe A&M knows something we don't.

 

[Shaun1985]

rofl. That's pretty funny. Also, pretty sure the state of Mizzou aint nowhere to be found.

 

[slh1089]

Looks like they added NC to the shirt to make all the states combined look like Texas. As if Texas is the entire conference. Reaching I know.

Good point.

Huh, I never realized until now how out of place Kentucky looks.



What are those northerners doing in the SEC?

Aggies "Gigged" Over T-shirt Screw-Up

blog articles

Stuff happens.* You’re in a rush.* You’re not thinking.* You get ahead of yourself… and boom.* You’ve messed up.

Well in today’s world anything from a misspelled word to a bungled map on a t-shirt will be caught, tweeted and mocked.* For proof, click the headline above and take a closer gander at the Texas A&M t-shirt CNBC’s Darren Rovell tracked down and linked to today.

A company called Aggieland Outfitters has already apologized for selling the shirt which says:


“WE MAY BE NEW TO THE CONFERENCE BUT WE AREN’T NEW TO THE GAME”


… along with an SEC logo above the outline of 10 states.*

Unfortunately, new SEC states Missouri and Texas — that’s right, the home of the Aggies — aren’t included in the design while North Carolina is.

D’oh!

New Texas A&M Shirt Contains So Much Geographic Fail

The featured image says it all.

A new Texas A&M shirt gloating over its membership to the SEC, however, leaves a couple of items — intentionally or unintentionally — to the imagination.

CNBC’s Darren Rovell*shared a photo of the shirt, which contains a geographically challenged picture of SEC member states, including North Carolina — last time I checked, North Carolina doesn’t have a school in the SEC… that is unless Duke, East Carolina, UNC, NC State or Wake Forest has something they’d like to tell us — but not including Missouri or, get this, Texas (it’s apparently on the back).

It should be noted that the shirt is not being sold through the school (one should hope not); rather, ESPN’s Big 12 blogger David Ubben added that the shirt is offered through Aggieland Outfitters.

The company later issued this apology:

Howdy Ags – This is Aggieland Outfitters. I thought I’d repost this under a new personal account to follow the guidelines of TexAgs.com.

All I can say is we messed up on this shirt.

The original design was meant to have the old SEC states with Texas on the back as an addition to the conference. Somewhere from sketch to finished product North Carolina got added. Sometimes mistakes happen and we just plain missed it.

Hopefully we didn’t ruin anyone’s day with this.

Gig’em!

It is for a while.

 

[YankeeVol]

Good stuff. Way to pay attention

 

[TuskALoosa]

Maybe Texas A&M is going to move to North Carolina.

Wouldn't expect any less from the school that produced this guy:

Wouldn't expect any less from the school that produced this guy:

I guess you missed the article that clearly points out that AO is not directly linked, nor are they an official partner to the University?

But u da MOD, so ......yeah....

Besides the point. You are new to the conference, we are going to make fun of you.

Charter member, suck it.

I don't know a single Kentuckian who would consider themself to be a Northerner.

Lol. Sorry I saw the comment on another board.

Actually it was followed up on that board with a short discussion by some UK fans:

Come visit sometime and tell me we're not southern..

Maybe over there... but not over this way. The closest thing to really being southern around here is wannabe rednecks and white trash. I think a lot of the farmers here fancy themselves southern, but they have a lot more in common with Nebraska corn farmers than Georgia peanut farmers. The rural areas here are really just generically "country". You remove the accents and they'd look the same the as any rural plot from Indiana to eastern Kansas.

Honestly, the only southern things about Western Kentucky are the things southerners don't want to be associated with.
