Nike gave this to Oklahoma State women’s basketball coach Jim Littell during the Final Four:

The inscriptions on the glass list Kurt Budke’s accomplishments as the OSU head coach, all the way down to “1 orange blazer.” It also features the phrase “we will never forget,” a motto printed on orange shirts that were introduced as part of Nike’s OSU line of clothes earlier this year.

This jersey/memorial is not yet on display at OSU, however. Because there was a typo. If you look real closely, the second bullet point has the word “career” spelled “carreer.” I’ve been told OSU has sent it back and will get a replacement to display soon.
