A popular shirt bearing UCF’s name — along with a controversial play on words — is sweeping Facebook feeds across Knight Nation.
The shirt, which says, “GET UCFKED UP EVERY SINGLE KNIGHT” is being promoted on the Facebook page of CampuzTeez.net. The company’s webpage boasts that it provides “the shirts students want but schools can’t sell.”
The company uses a viral marketing technique to get the word about about its product, and it’s working at UCF. After it posted the UCF shirt, the company said it would organize presale when the post got 250 “likes” on Facebook. The posting had more than 500 likes within 14 hours.
Now, the presale is on. An event on Facebook has been created with students posting what size they want.
Students seem excited, sharing their comments on Facebook for all to see.
“Rush shipping?” posted one student. “I want it for spring break.”
“I want one, I’ll pay whatever for it, I want it,” another student said on the Facebook page.
The shirt company is also making shirts targeted to other schools. At UCF, the shirts are being listed at $15 for pre-sale, and $17 if you don’t pre-order.
KnightNews.com will continue following the shirt sale and let you know the reception they get once they arrive on campus.
