Super Target In Minneapolis sells Minnesota Badgers Onesie

by accident!!!!!

"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. "Color us red,'' Target said in a statement. "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."

I called every Target in DM and they, this morning, took them off the rack and are in the process of shipping them back to Minneapolis or the closest shipping center.

DAMN

That might have been a nice investment

Very fitting (no pun intended) as the gophers and badgers can both crawl into a hole and die.

The items are being recalled and destroyed

One would thing the greedy bastards would want to regain some money from the item

But Target pride will not permit this

The store managers that I talked to would not budge

The lucky two that purchased them might have a little something worth a little money some day. Too funny. Row the boat.

They're both rodents aren't they? Or is a badger a rodent? I don't even know.

I am pretty sure there are a dozen t-shirt websites on the internet that would make you that exact shirt if you really wanted it. The question is, why would you?
