Maybe Victoria's Secret should just stick to bras and panties as the lingerie company flubbed its latest T-shirts, mixing up rival Michigan schools.
For its VS Pink Collegiate Collection, Victoria's Secret designed a "Michigan State bling scoopneck tee" for the college clothes line. However, it mistakenly used the fight song from the wrong Michigan school. In fact, the company printed the fight song of State's rival: University of Michigan on the T-shirt.
CNBC reporter Darren Rovell spread word the mistake first when it was brought to attention on Friday from a University of Michigan student.
"The folks Victoria's Secret have made a horrible Michigan error," Rovell tweeted on Friday with a photo of the flub.
The green T-shirt had a screen print with "Spartans" on the front of it and "Hail to the Vvictors" underneath, which is part of fight song at the wrong Michigan school.

Since Rovell pointed out the error, Victoria's Secret has removed the link to the shirt from its Web site. The company has not yet commented on its mistake.
Victoria's Secret first launched its exclusive line of college-themed apparel called the Collegiate Collection in 2008 and since has expanded to include over 50 different colleges.
