Fans Troll ESPN for Logo Blunder While Discussing Iowa’s Caitlin Clark

ESPN traveled to Iowa City ahead of Caitlin Clark’s and the No. 6 Iowa Hawkeyes’ Senior Day matchup against No. 2 Ohio State on Sunday.

But, the network made a mistake during its College GameDay broadcast that made fans watching at home cringe.

When going to a commercial break during the show, ESPN showed images of Ohio State and Iowa, but instead of using the Hawkeyes logo, the rival Iowa State Cyclones’ logo was displayed in front of Clark’s picture.

The beginning of the video montage used the correct logo, but then ESPN followed up by using the Cyclones’ logo.

Fans were less than impressed, and some called out the network for the blunder ahead of one of the biggest college basketball matchups of the season.

Check out some of the best reactions from social media.

So let me get this straight, @espn @CollegeGameDay
is literally AT Hawkeye Carver Arena this morning yet they still think @CaitlinClark22 plays for Iowa State - A completely different school in a completely different league? Iowa != Iowa State. @IowaWBB pic.twitter.com/ke9aiUy94I
