球迷自制Evil Azzi T恤被Gabby Williams穿进Azzi Fudd荣誉典礼 旧金山设计者以为照片是合成图

11月8日,康涅狄格大学(UConn)在位于康涅狄格州 Storrs 的 Gampel Pavilion 为女篮名将 Azzi Fudd 举行 Huskies of Honor 荣誉典礼,前队友 Gabby Williams 穿着一件写有「Evil Azzi vs Azzi」的 T 恤到场支持,照片随即在社交平台疯传。这件 T 恤并非官方商品,而是旧金山球迷 Rinna Del Rosario 与妻子 Roslynn Hill 自制的,全世界只有这一件。Del Rosario 11月11日接受康涅狄格州《诺威奇公报》采访,讲述了这件 T 恤辗转到了 Williams 身上的全过程。
典礼当天下午,Del Rosario 正在旧金山的家中,手机突然被朋友的短信、社交平台通知和未接来电刷满。她说:「起初我以为是合成图,以为朋友在拿我们开玩笑。我真的去翻了 Threads 和 Twitter,看到 Gabby Williams 穿着我送给 Azzi Fudd 的那件 T 恤。」她说,看到 Williams 穿上它、还成了 Fudd 大日子的一部分,感觉特别不一样。
这件 T 恤的点子来自今年8月。两人是金州女武神队的球迷,Dallas Wings 来湾区打客场时,她们不想显得在给 Fudd 助威对着干,Hill 便用 ChatGPT 做了一张图:两人的头像并排,下方用白色蚀刻字写着「Evil Azzi vs Azzi」。这个说法源于网上流传的一个梗,说这两位 UConn 出身的球星长相和球风都有几分相像。赛后,两人在看台找到 Fudd 的家人,把 T 恤拿给 Fudd 的母亲 Katie 看,Katie 很喜欢;几周后,她们专程去 Dallas,把多做的一件当面送给 Fudd。Del Rosario 说,她们本以为 Fudd 忙着搬家打包、多半会把 T 恤随手搁下;如今推测,是 Fudd 把 T 恤转给了 Williams,因为她们自己从没能凑到近前把 T 恤直接交给 Williams。
Williams 穿着这件 T 恤的照片传开后几个小时内,网上已经出现照着截图仿制、出售同款设计的人。两人表示没有出售这件 T 恤的计划,这件原件因此仍是唯一的一件。Del Rosario 与 Hill 是多年的女篮球迷,上世纪90年代中期美国女子篮球联盟(ABL)刚起步时,Del Rosario 就是其创始会员俱乐部的成员;Hill 从 Fudd 高中时期的集锦开始关注她,在 Fudd 被 Dallas Wings 以2026年 WNBA 选秀状元签选中前五个月,两人就定制了一件印有 Fudd 名字的 Wings 球衣,并请 Fudd 亲笔签名。
Fudd 是第25位入选 Huskies of Honor 的 UConn 女篮球员,入选者须拿到学士学位并当选全美最佳阵容一阵共识人选;她随 UConn 拿到过全国冠军,如今是 WNBA 选秀状元。Williams 这个赛季刚随金州女武神队拿到 WNBA 总冠军并当选总决赛最有价值球员,当天到场是为支持 Fudd,Fudd 在致辞中还提到,Williams 当年曾帮助招募她。Del Rosario 说,她们见过不少运动员和名人,Fudd 是其中最亲切、最真诚的一位。
Fan-Made 'Evil Azzi' Shirt Worn by Gabby Williams at Azzi Fudd's Honor Ceremony Stuns Its San Francisco Designers
On November 8, the University of Connecticut held a Huskies of Honor induction ceremony for women's basketball star Azzi Fudd at Gampel Pavilion in Storrs, Connecticut, and former teammate Gabby Williams showed up to support her wearing a T-shirt reading "Evil Azzi vs Azzi." Photos of the shirt quickly went viral on social media. The shirt was not official merchandise: it was designed and made by San Francisco fans Rinna Del Rosario and her wife, Roslynn Hill, and only one exists. Del Rosario told the Norwich Bulletin of Connecticut on November 11 how the shirt found its way onto Williams.
That Sunday afternoon, Del Rosario was at home in San Francisco when her phone suddenly filled with friends' texts, social media notifications and missed calls. "At first, I thought it was photoshopped. I thought our friends were messing with us," she said. "I literally went on Threads and Twitter, and I saw Gabby Williams wearing the shirt I gave to Azzi Fudd." Seeing Williams wear it, and seeing it become part of Fudd's big day, felt special, she said.
The idea for the shirt came in August. The couple root for the Golden State Valkyries and did not want to look like they were cheering against Fudd when the Dallas Wings came to the Bay Area, so Hill used ChatGPT to make a graphic showing the two players' headshots side by side, with the words "Evil Azzi vs Azzi" underneath in white etch lettering. The phrase comes from an online meme noting that the two former UConn stars slightly resemble each other in looks and playing style. After that game, the couple found Fudd's family in the stands and showed the shirt to Fudd's mother, Katie, who loved it; a few weeks later they traveled to Dallas to hand Fudd an extra shirt in person. Del Rosario said they assumed Fudd, busy moving and packing, would probably toss it aside; they now figure Fudd must have passed it to Williams, since they never got close enough to give one to Williams directly.
Within hours of photos of Williams in the shirt spreading, screenshots appeared online of people recreating and selling versions of the design. The couple said they have no plans to sell the shirt, so the original remains the only one. Del Rosario and Hill are longtime women's basketball fans: when the American Basketball League, one of the first professional women's leagues, started in the mid-1990s, Del Rosario was among its first fans through the ABL Founding Members Club. Hill first started watching highlights of Fudd in high school, and five months before Fudd was selected in the 2026 WNBA Draft, the couple had a customized Dallas Wings jersey with Fudd's name on it signed by Fudd.
Fudd is the 25th player inducted into the Huskies of Honor, a program that requires a bachelor's degree and consensus first-team All-America honors; she won a national championship at UConn and was the No. 1 pick in the 2026 WNBA Draft. Williams, who this past season led the Valkyries to the WNBA championship and won Finals MVP, was there to support Fudd, who noted in her remarks that Williams had helped recruit her. Del Rosario said the couple have met many athletes and famous people, and Fudd is easily the kindest and most genuine of them all.
