Could it be possible that international football (soccer) superstar Wayne Rooney is a fan of the Rutgers Scarlet Knights?
Wayne Rooney has been vacationing in the islands of Ibiza prior to his pending wedding with longtime teenage sweetheart Coleen McLoughlin. Wayne Rooney being a popular subject of the British tabloids has recently been photographed wearing not one, but two different Rutgers hats.
There are only two explanations one could come up with regarding his affinity towards his head gear.
1) Rooney is one of those individuals that likes to wear garments that are emblazoned with his initials. “R” for Rooney. However, I find it quite odd that he’d choose to carry around basically the same hat in different colors, to vacation nonetheless!
2) With marketing contracts worth well over 92 million USD chances are he’s just sporting goods he gets for free given his lucrative contract with sports conglomerate Nike. Nike as you know is also a sponsor of Rutgers Athletic gear. Put the two and two together and you have Rooney sporting Rutgers gear.
Nonetheless, considering Rooney’s tremendous influence around the globe this is a very pleasant sight to see. Thanks to the British tabloids the “Block R” is going global. Greg Schiano’s desire for a simple logo representing Rutgers athletics is working like a charm. Apparently, superstar athletes find it worth wearing. Sign me up.
Non-football (soccer) fans might not find these pictures amusing but soccer fans, specially Rutgers soccer fans will love this. I do.
Lids carries a great selection of Rutgers caps/hats. You won’t find the two hats Wayne Rooney is wearing but you’re sure to find something that you will like to wear.
