Lingerie legend
Victoria’s Secret has
purchased the right to use the University of South Florida’s logo as
part of its Pink Collegiate Col­lection.

Though there will be no USF
bra or panty, the collection will feature sweatpants, T-shirts, tank
tops, shorts and other clothing adorned with the Pink logo and Bull
pride. Starting June 22, the clothes will be available at vspink.com.

Though no Victoria’s Secret store will carry it locally, the USF
Book­store will carry the line starting in the fall semester.
Jeff Mack, USF assistant vice
president for campus busi­ness services, said this is another
oppor­tunity for USF to expand its national outreach. “It was sort of a
win-win for the university,” Mack said. USF will collect 10 percent in
royalties on merchandise sold. “The more merchandise that sells out
there, that’s more dollars that the university will get,” Mack said.

USF is one of 24 new schools that will be added to the Victoria’s
Secret Pink Collegiate Col­lection. The line, geared toward young
women, already features the University
of Florida, Florida State University, Florida A&M and the University of Miami.
