Title: I have to ask "Why?"

When I first saw this ad, I thought that someone had picked up some of those replica Juniors that there was a post about not too long ago.  But, $1100 plus for a fiberglass replica of a Westinghous Junior with a college logo!  The Coke replica Junior with refrigeration can be had on E-Bay for $690 and they are made of steel!  Nice artwork on the pictures too.  It looks like they photo-shopped (very poorly) over a picture of a real Junior and then slapped the college logo on it.

I guess more power to them if they can sell them though!

The $1100 may be a result of licensing fees to  Michigan, and/or the Big 10, or  it's pure greed.
I think you are right, i think  someone  is painting the  new coolers and  selling them to fans.
