UUOTD is back!
I saw this during this week's College World Series. Or, the Men's College World Series, as the NCAA now refers to it. UC-Irvine made their first appearance in the CWS, ending in a loss to defending champion Oregon State. Their nickname is the Anteaters.
These uniforms aren't that bad, in and of themselves.
But, putting the short form of the name, "Eaters", on the jersey allows for all kinds of connotations. If one didn't know they were the Anteaters, the person would ask all kinds of questions. What do they eat? Are they overeaters? Are they proud to eat?
UC-Irvine could solve this issue by putting Anteaters on the jersey, instead of "Eaters".
At least they're not the Boogereaters.
