College baseball isn’t a topic of discussion among most sports fans. That is, unless, it involves a team doing something ridiculous.
Today we bring you – the Mississippi State baseball team.
They recently revealed their new jerseys, which apparently hold a hidden meaning for their rival, Ole Miss.
If you connect the orange dots of the MSU warmups, they spell out "F–K The School Up North" http://t.co/UluoR7cF8h pic.twitter.com/grq0BS6n20

Some people who suffer from color blindness may be left searching for the message for hours.
However, if you connect the orange dots, the message reads : “F–K THE SCHOOL UP NORTH”. (I’ll take their word for it)
Well, the Mississippi State AD isn’t color blind and, needless to say, he isn’t happy with the creative yet disrespectful jab at their rival.

(2/3) … This is completely unacceptable and does not reflect the standards and values of Mississippi State University or its athletic dept …

(3/3) … For anyone who was offended by this shirt, as I was, please accept our apologies and rest assured that this has been rectified.

Unfortunately it sounds like these jerseys will never see a collegiate baseball diamond.
