An Arkansas Sheriff's department is facing backlash for forcing inmates to wear Nike's shirts in their mugshots in an attempt to mock National Football league quarterback Colin Kaepernick. The action is seen as an apparent jab at Nike, that recently made a deal with the football star by featuring him in their latest Just Do It campaign.

The Sheriff's department's action came to light after an activist first observed the repetition of Nike clothes in the mugshots taken by the Union County Sheriff's Office, according to reports.
