Meow?: Nike giving Kansas some bulletin board material

Nike posted their “Beast Mode” t-shirt online a few days ago on their website.

This T-shirt says more than “Beast Mode.” It says this is a tiger skin, and it’s going to scare the feathers off that little sparrow across the state line. It says, “We organize a militia to protect our home.” It says, who let the Tigers out? And there ain’t no one that’s gonna put ’em back in. It says to everyone that this game is played in Kansas City, Missouri, and not Kansas City, Kansas. It says, hey Tweety Bird, the big bad tiger is hungry. It says MIZ-ZOU, or something close to that depending upon whom we’re playing. It says we are here to claim the war drum for our own, and we’re going to beat it all the way back to Columbia. This T-shirt says more than Beast Mode.

Underlined text are shots at Kansas. It calls the Jayhawk a little sparrow and Tweety Bird.

It also references to their fans’ classy “MIZ-FKU” chant they throw in when playing Kansas.

The militia reference? Quantrill’s Raid anyone?

There you have it people, Nike is pro-slavery.

Note the feather at the bottom of the shirt.

This is the scary uniform they’re using for Saturday, as well.

  • It doesn't prove your point, but the real fact is that any militia reference to the Missouri Tigers has nothing to do with Quantrill's (as bad as you may want it to). The Missouri Tigers were a Union militia that guarded Columbia and the University from pro-Confederate guerillas.
