Kansas has reconciled with Mayor Eric Adams after he ruffled feathers in the state by claiming it “doesn’t have a brand.”
Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark visited City Hall Tuesday and surprised Adams with a custom-made Kansas Jayhawks football jersey.
The college football conference tweeted a picture of Adams holding his new duds with the caption “New York City Mayor Eric Adams now knows Kansas is a brand.”
Adams claimed the sparsely populated flyover state had “no brand” while discussing the warm welcome he got during recent trips to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.
“We have a brand. New York has a brand and when people see it, it means something,” Adams told reporters.
“Kansas doesn’t have a brand,” he said, while cracking himself up.
“When you go there, you’re, ‘OK, you from Kansas?’ No.”
