Football T-Shirt Stopped Over “Brew’s Crew” Slogan
The University of Minnesota has stopped production of a T-shirt designed to raise money for the athletics program, saying the slogan "Brew’s Crew" is too closely related to alcohol.
The slogan on the front of the shirt is a play on the name of new football coach Tim Brewster, according to the shirt’s producers. The words surround a football with the letter "M" on it.
The university disagreed.
"We think that the word ‘Brew’ has a direct tie to alcohol," said Tom Wistrcill, associate athletics director. "We don’t think it’s in our best interest — for the athletic department and the university - to associate ourselves with that inference to alcohol."
The Goal Line Club - the booster club for the school’s football program — printed the T-shirts to raise money for the athletics program. The shirts were sold at the annual spring scrimmage to students for $10 - $6 of which went to the program.
