Graphic designer and Develop Don’t Destroy Brooklyn activist Deborah Goldstein, also known as Miss Wit, wanted to share her latest t-shirt design with the readers of OTBKB.

I too have been miffed at the renaming of some local subway stations. For instance, the Atlantic Avenue/Pacific Street subway station has been renamed Atlantic Av/Barclay’s Stadium, I believe. Jay Street Boro Hall is now Jay Street MetroTech.

Miss Wit writes, “A British multinational bank (in the news currently for extreme and “systematic greed” practices) bought NYC subway naming rights very cheaply from a cash strapped state agency on the back of a corrupt deal.

“By calling the subway station by said British multinational bank, which certainly not a very many will do, one accepts that scenario as being acceptable.

“The station once known as Pacific Street-Atlantic Avenue will soon be called something else, due to the fact that the same company that bought the rights to the stadium the station sits under, also bought the rights to the station. For the first time in NYC Transit history, a Subway station will bear the name of a corporate entity.

But….

I’m Still Calling it Atlantic Pacific!”
