dinneR Posted February 12, 2020 Share #1 Posted February 12, 2020 https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/28681411/target-apologizes-selling-minnesota-badgers-onesies MINNEAPOLIS -- Target admits a onesie it carried in some stores misidentified the mascot for the largest university in its home state. The Minneapolis-based retail giant apologized to University of Minnesota Golden Gophers fans Tuesday for carrying a maroon onesie with the words "Minnesota Badgers,'' the nickname of Big Ten rival Wisconsin. The fan website GopherHole.com tweeted a photo from a woman who noticed the onesies while shopping Sunday at a Target in Minneapolis.

"As a Minnesota-based company, we know we are home to the Gophers." Kileigh Carpenter, a former University of Minnesota employee who spotted the onesie, told the Star Tribune she was "happy to see both fan bases unite." The onesies were available at four Minneapolis-area stores. Target said two were purchased and the remaining 22 were returned to the vendor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but these gophers are golden. My mascot is an "Aggie" and our cheerleaders are all guys dressed like the Good Humor man. A gopher of any color does not sound that bad to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
