Colorado Football ‘HB CU’ Shirt Sparks Outrage! WATCH

*A college football fanatic decided to get a print screen and create a shirt celebrating the Colorado football program coached by Deion Sanders. The shirt features the Colorado Buffalo log on it with the words “HB CU State of Mind.” 

The Colorado Buffaloes football program represents the University of Colorado Boulder, which is not an HBCU (historically black colleges and universities). Steven J. Gaither, a writer with HBCU Gameday, calls the shirt “nothing short of offensive.”  

Gaither writes, This is just the latest in a string of events equating Colorado football to an HBCU since former Jackson State University head coach Deion Sanders took over the program.”

Last month Gaither wrote: “But Colorado nor its mascot will never be able to “go” HBCU. CU is a state flagship university in an affluent, white city that had the wherewithal to offer Deion Sanders money and resources that Jackson State — an actual HBCU located in the heart of the poorest state in America — could never dream of. It is being applauded for taking a chance on hiring Deion Sanders when the truth is, he’s running largely off the same blueprint that was in place at Jackson State. He’s got the same quarterback —  who was doubted for his talents because he was playing at an HBCU — and several of the same coaches and support staff.”

Meanwhile, according to Gaither, HBCU alumni, students, and supporters are not impressed with the “Colorado HB CU” shirt. Check it out below. 

On X (formally Twitter) the reactions to the shirt are quite funny one person wrote, “Black folks claiming CU like they did Bill Clinton just to find out both of them using you lol”

Another posted, “Do y’all know what the H in HBCU actually stands for?!”

A third X user called the shirt ahomemade azz, non-licensed sh** that somebody cousin made and pressed with an iron.”

Do you agree? Sound off in the comments.
