Controversy over Victoria's Secret's BC line

BOSTON -- A new line of clothing from Victoria's Secret featuring the Boston College logo is causing some controversy among the Catholic school's students and alumni. The BC line of sweatpants and hooded sweatshirts were on display at Boston's Newbury Street store. The college made the deal to license the clothes, but some think the line is poor in taste.

"Boston College has partnered with the Collegiate Licensing Corporation to sell women's athletic apparel through an agreement with retailer Victoria's Secret. The T-shirts, sweatpants, sweatshirts and other clothing items we have authorized are tasteful and, contrary to the Herald report today, do not include undergarments or bathing suits,"

said Jack Dunn of Boston College in a statement. Since July, Victoria's Secret stores have been selling university themed clothing from 33 schools.
