Chinatown Boutique Sells Knockoff Penn Streetwear

 
What’s with all the unofficial Penn gear? In a new campaign that makes sense to a resounding no one, Philly-based Abakus Takeout launched an Ivy League-themed holiday collection for those “who didn’t make the grade.” Penn is included, along with Brown, Princeton and those other schools, so if you want a new Penn hoodie that says “Abakus” across the front (Did you guys spot that typo?!?!), then go for it. You could probably bursar something very similar from the bookstore, but these clothes are FASHION because they’re from a BOUTIQUE, so keep that in mind.

That is absolutely ridiculous. “For all those who didn’t make the grade.” Who wants to acknowledge that… this is an absurdly hilarious marketing scheme.

“For all those who didn’t make the grade” is our motto dedicated to giving those a chance of finally feeling Accepted.

So you feel Accepted (and WTF why is this capitalized???) by wearing knockoff Ivy clothing. If you’re that desperate just buy online from HYP’s bookstores. Run and tell that to Drexel.
