Florida State managed to keep their mistakes to a minimum in their 34-31 victory over Auburn in the BCS Championship game on Monday night. Unfortunately, FSU’s merchandising department wasn’t able to do the same the day after the game.
The official online store of Florida State athletics put a shirt up for sale Tuesday morning encouraging fans to “Commemorate an exciting win for the Noles in the 2013 BCS National Championship with this Straight tee. It features custom Champs graphics and the final score of the game, so you can show off your FSU pride in style!”
Unfortunately, the final score of the game was different than the score shown on the shirt.
As a matter of fact, Florida State didn’t even win the game according to the shirts they are selling.
“Tigers – 34 Noles – 31,” the shirt proudly states.
Auburn athletic director Jay Jacobs said earlier this week that Auburn is considering claiming additional national championships from 1910, 1913, 1914, 1983 and 2004. It’s unclear whether he’ll use this shirt as a basis to claim 2013 as well.
It’s only a matter of time before FSU takes the shirts down, but you can see them in the FSU online store if you click over soon. A screenshot can be seen below.
