Poor West Virginia, they are never gonna live this down. Just like sports fans referring to the Chiefs as the “Chefs”, a little gaffe by the company that the NIT folks contracted with to make the championship T-Shirts will make the Mountaineers from now on be referred to as the West Virginas. Who knew a proofreading mistake could provide so much juvenile amusement.
The company said that the correct spelling of West Virginia will be shipped to fans. The West Virgina t-shirts will be collectibles. Just think, only a handful of people associated with the team have that t-shirt. Now, we’re not saying the shirts will have Inverted Jenny status but it should fetch a pretty good buck on ebay.
