Kanye West reportedly wants to design sports uniforms for Calabasas High School
The idea of Kanye West designing athletic
wear isn't such a stretch. But try this new report from TMZ on for size: The
rapper-entrepreneur is "gunning for [a] Yeezy jersey deal with Calabasas
High."
According to TMZ, Kanye wants to redesign the public school's sports uniforms
and "help to re-brand the entire program."
He reportedly met with school officials to pitch the idea.
A snitch tells TMZ that the multi-hyphenate wants changethe school's colors,
which are currently black and gold, and mascot from the Coyotes to the Wolves --
à la his song of the same name.
TMZ reports that Kanye would also make a "sizable donation to improve school
facilities -- including major upgrades to the gym."
The website adds that the athletic department at the high school, which is
near where the Kardashians live outside of Los Angeles, has blown up in recent
years.
Notable alumni of the public high school include actresses Shiri Appleby,
KatieCassidy, Danielle Fishel and Gaby Hoffmann, former child star Ricky
Schroder, members of the band Incubus, including front-man Brandon Boyd … and
the infamous Erik Menendez of the Menendez brothers.
The high school reportedly already has a deal with Adidas,which owns the
Yeezy brand.
In March 2017, Kanye's Yeezy brand released a range of casual wear including
sweatpants, sweaters, sneakers, shirts and enamel pins featuring the name of the
L.A.-adjacent neighborhood.
One athletic shirt from the collection reads "property of the Calabasas
Coyotes," and there are two sweaters emblazoned with the words "Calabasas
Coyotes" already, so the idea that Kanye wants to work directly with the school
isn't so surprising.
Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Drake and Justin Bieber also live in
Calabasas.
