T-Shirt Times

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Thousands of Gator T-shirts are going back in the box because of a mix up.

Roman numerals meant to denote the year "2006" on the University of Florida shirts actually translate into "26."

Pepsi paid for the shirts. It has an exclusive contract with the school

According to UF’s athletic association, neither Pepsi nor the school discovered the error before distribution, but those handing out the free shirts and the students who got them noticed.

Over 20,000 shirts were printed, and those that have not been distributed to students will be returned to Pepsi.

A Pepsi spokeswoman said it’s not clear what they will do with the shirts that are returned, but that they apologize for the error.

Montpelier, Vermont - August 31, 2006

It’s a free speech victory for a Williamstown teenager. A federal appeals court ruled Williamstown school officials violated his rights — when they censored an anti-Bush T-shirt. The school made Zach Guiles remove the T-shirt because it included pictures of drugs and alcohol–a violation of the school’s dress code.

The Vermont Chapter of the American Civil Liberties called the ruling a victory for free speech. But they downplayed suggestions the decision will give students the freedom to wear anything they want to school. "The judges in this appeal were very careful to state that their decision applies to this case and these circumstances so I don’t think it is fair to say that all dress codes are out the window that was not the point of the judges decision…they made the decision on the facts of this case," said Allen Gilbert of the Vermont Chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. Because the images on the shirt were part of a political message the appeals court ruled that it was protected free speech.
