Some Colleges Will Include a Trademarked Y2K on Apparel

Your computer systems are okay, but is your graduating class Y2K-compatible?

A couple of dozen colleges aren't taking any chances. Playing on the timeliness of the Class-of-2000 theme, they've ordered college sweatshirts, T-shirts, and caps with a trademarked Y2K logo.

The merchandise is being manufactured by Gear for Sports, under a license from a Massachusetts clothing company called Nutex, which owns the Y2K trademark for use on apparel.
