Old Navy = Grammar Morons

WVU fans may have remembered the NIT printing gaff...

Old Navy has upped the ante. While they didn't go the classic misspelling of "West Virginia"...they screwed the pooch royally...and to multiple institutions when someone in their graphics department skipped out on the grammar lesson that reviewed contractions.

Old Navy has printed up a series of shirts with "Lets [plural] Go XYZ" times 15 schools: WVU, Univ. of Washington, Univ. of Kentucky, UCLA, Univ. of Iowa, USC, Univ. of Illinois, Michigan, Univ. of Oregon, Univ. of Texas, Minnesota, Univ. of Missouri, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, and Washington State Univ. (at least those are the ones still listed on their website as of 3PM on Thursday!)

Maybe because the shirts are for the 'little women' they didn't think it mattered??? Who knows! Awful gaff...

According to the LA Times, Old Navy is scrambling to reprint the shirts. Geek Dad posted earlier today that the apostrophe had been added to the description of the shirt, but the image is still showing the error...same is true as of 3 PM...

Good grief!
