Pink Loves HBCUs
Victoria’s Secret has FINALLY added four HBCU’s (Howard University, Florida A&M University, North Carolina A&T University, and Southern University) to their PINK Collegiate collection, which was released in June previously featuring 33 Universities.
Soon after the Pink collection was launched a Howard student (Go Bison’s!!!) sent an email to the Vickie’s expressing her disappointment in the lack of Black college representation. When she received a dismissive response, she decided to created a Facebook page entitled “HBCU Ladies wear Victoria’s Secret Pink Too”. With in weeks she had over 400 friends, who were also pushing for HBCU representation. Oh how I love my fellow HU peeps….we always make things happen. Check out the styles below:
North Carolina A&T University
Florida A&M University
Howard University

VS is only adding schools based on VOTES. At this time, they only have 35 schools represented, so there are MANY others that are left out (and I think 4/35 is pretty good for HBCUs). If you want to see other schools, then you have to get people to VOTE FOR THEM! Nominate your school(s) by going to vspink.com.
Where is NCCU?????
wow…where’s Spelman? Tuskegee? Jackson State?…I won’t complain too much though, I’m sure they look at a lot of factors…I attend the University of Alabama (predom. White campus), and when they came out with ‘Bama Pink…ALL the stores sold out!! So, hopefully, the line will continue to grow…as well as HBCU enrollment.
I would love to see Penn State(PWI) have a PINK sweatsuit. We have over 24 campus and I’m sure Victoria Secret would make millions off each and everyone of our campuses.WE ARE PINK STATE!!!!! LOL
Why not Bethune Cookman. Everyone know you cant spell HBCU without BCU. I would by my old girl one, my mom one, and every young female in my family one.
