"Victoria's Secret PINK and Major League Baseball announced the launch of an exclusive assortment of co-branded merchandise featuring the names and logos of the Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs, Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Los Angeles Dodgers, Minnesota Twins, New York Mets, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies, San Diego Padres and St. Louis Cardinals, marking the first professional sports relationship for VS PINK."
For those of you who dont know, Victoria's Secret PINK brand is targeted at high school aged girls and post-high school girls who are desperately holding onto their high school persona.
If you thought seeing pink-hat-wearing phonies who have no clue about the Red Sox was annoying then get ready for the next wave.
I remember being at a Red Sox game once and seeing a pink hat point at a Varitek tshirt and say, "how do you say that name?" Seriously?And on more than one occasion Ive been at Fenway and heard a pink hat say, "why do they boo this guy everytime he does something," referring to the "YOOOOOOUK" chant.
This Victoria's Secret PINK thing is great for marketing (Im sure the Red Sox will make a ton of money from it) but will make the average Red Sox fan sick to their stomachs.
It boils down to this: Red Sox fans wear traditional Red Sox gear to support their team. Posers wear Red Sox gear like "I Only Kiss Red Sox Fans" shirts as a fashion statement. And to Red Sox fans, its disturbing.
