Sports are already pretty big on Twitter, but the iconic ampersat is making its way into the real world in a more intimate way at the University of Akron in Ohio. Photos leaked on Twitter show that the Akron Zips' new black Nike jerseys will feature the team's Twitter handle on the back; CBS Sports reports that the ads will be placed on both men's and women's basketball jerseys for a "social media night" on February 2nd. It's not clear if the addition will be permanent — the school's uniform announcement doesn't mention the Twitter tags — and we've asked the university to clarify its plans.
