Earlier today, the Mississippi State baseball team showed off their snazzy new official university approved warmup gear made by Adidas. There was one problem though, the new unis had a vulgar message for their in-state rival hidden on them.

The jerseys clearly say “Fuck the team up north” which is a reference to Ole Miss, Miss State’s longtime rival.
Mississippi State athletic director Scott Stricklin addressed the secret message on the shirts and was not too pleased.
(1/3)This afternoon it came to my attention that a shirt provided to our baseball team by adidas has an inappropriate phrase written on it …

(2/3) … This is completely unacceptable and does not reflect the standards and values of Mississippi State University or its athletic dept …

(3/3) … For anyone who was offended by this shirt, as I was, please accept our apologies and rest assured that this has been rectified.
