I鈥檓 not exactly plugged into the world of high fashion. The closest I鈥檝e ever been is watching Project Runway with my wife 鈥� shout out to , winner of the first season of Project Runway Canada 鈥� and that barely counts.
So, believe me when I say that I know nothing about Versace. Is Versace high fashion? I don鈥檛 even know. Maybe it鈥檚 medium fashion? Midsized fashion?
What I do know, however, is that one of their recent designs is 100% based on the 麻豆传媒映画Canucks鈥� logo from the 80鈥檚 and 90鈥檚. This was . Take a look for yourself and I鈥檓 pretty sure you鈥檒l see the similarity:

Don鈥檛 see it? Then please make your way to your nearest optometrist, please. Actually, contact a friend or relative, and have them take you to the optometrist, because I don鈥檛 trust you to drive yourself with eyesight that bad.
But just to help you out, here鈥檚 the Canucks鈥� spaghetti-skate logo on current Canucks president Trevor Linden.
Apparently the San Francisco-based design team, Beyl & Boyd, , should have gone into fashion rather than graphic design. After all, they designed the spaghetti-skate logo, originally as a shoulder patch on those jerseys. Even if you absolutely hate the Flying-V jersey, you have to forgive Beyl & Boyd, as they also gave Canucks fans the skate logo that is burned into our collective memories thanks to the 1994 playoff run.
And now Versace has taken that skate logo, turned it into a Versace logo, and slapped it on a 100% polyester sweatshirt. They鈥檙e charging (or , depending on where you look), equivalent to $1063 to $1261 Canadian.
For $200, you can get an , complete with a name and number on the back. Also 100% polyester.
It鈥檚 not just the sweatshirt, however. It gets more absurd. This is an actual Versace t-shirt on the Versace website.
it costs $1225 Canadian.
I鈥檓 pretty sure I already hate anyone who would actually buy this t-shirt. Don鈥檛 do this, people. Don鈥檛 spend $1225 on a t-shirt, especially one this haphazardly thrown together and ripped off of a Canucks logo. If I see one of these shirts on anyone at Rogers Arena, I will straight-up murder a Beanie Baby.
On the other hand, I would definitely buy this shirt and wear it, but only if it cost less than $30:
