While you’re at it why don’t you petition Walter Johnson High School to change their name to Andre Dawson High School, make the Bethesda Big Train change their name to the Bethesda Grande Orange and disinter the body of Walter Johnson and bury him in his rightful home of Minneapolis.

Probably some kind of copyright infringement issue. Adam said:

If you go through the Nats gallery, pic 12 says that the last "match" will be played on... When did it become match and not a game? I didn't realize this was soccer.

Is this normal? Why would Majestic be making stuff for the Big Ten? Just kind of weird I thought since I never see their apparel on the basketball court, or anywhere but MLB for that matter.
