'U' Wants Goldy Gone From Victoria's Secret Line

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) ― The University of Minnesota's Goldy Gopher logo won't be appearing on Victoria's Secret apparel after campus officials decided the clothing line is out of step with the school's values.

The university didn't make the decision until after Victoria's Secret publicized the school as one of 33 involved in its "PINK Collegiate Collection." As of Wednesday morning the Victoria's Secret Website was still advertising a hooded sweatshirt, T-shirt, sweatpants and tote bag with the U of M logo.

School spokesman Dan Wolter said the university is working to get the products taken down. Associate athletic director Tom Wistrcill said the school uses a middleman in most licensing agreements and that there might have been a miscommunication between the parties involved.
