Mississippi State in trouble for ‘f— the team up north’ practice shirts

The Mississippi State baseball team — or, potentially, Adidas — has found itself in hot water this week because of some batting practice t-shirts that displayed an inappropriate hidden message.

On the surface, it appeared that the shirts simply poked fun at Starkville, Miss. (where the university is located) by referring to the town as “Starkvegas.” Get it? Because there’s nothing to do in Starkville, so it’s ironic. But upon closer examination, Bulldogs beat writers noticed the words “F–K THE SCHOOL UP NORTH” mixed in with all the hideous neon text.
