With the Final Four about to begin, Nike has created special shirts to honor Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski. The shirts have the letter “K” on top of the iconic Swoosh.
According to college basketball insider Adam Zagoria, a select number of Duke fans will wear these shirts for Saturday night’s game against North Carolina.
While this is a nice gesture by Nike, there are some issues with the shirt. For starters, some people may photoshop the shirt to change its meaning.
“Nike must have never heard of photoshop because this is about to get ugly very fast,” David Dennis Jr. tweeted.

Most of the responses to this shirt design have been negative, but Duke fans certainly like this look.
“Too jealous of anyone rocking one of these tonight,” a Duke fan tweeted.

Duke and North Carolina will square off tonight with a trip to the national championship game at stake. It’s the third meeting this season between these two rivals.
Tonight’s matchup could very well be the final game of Coach K’s career.
