This would seriously drive me crazy because spelling is my thing. I thought the 'o' was hidden by the buttons but as you can see from the other pictures it's not there. A few weeks ago on our local news they were telling a story about a local fire department. The title, in big letters across the screen, said. 'Fire Cheifs get honors.' I didn't know if they were talking about 'chefs' or chiefs. And no one seemed to notice.

thank >insert diety of choice< the Nats are no longer the parent club of our Columbus Clippers. I'm a terrible spelerr and even i know how to spell Nashunals.
Speaking of the Clippers, their new affiliation is with the Cleveland Indiginous Peoples and they clobberred the Yankees 22(yes, twenty-two)-4 on Saturday in NY no less.

The team must have outsourced their uniforms to China. This is a perfect example of Engrish.

Maybe it's simply a money-saving idea: "do you realize how much we each letter costs? who's gonna notice if we leave one out? OK, as long as it's the one in the middle"

i beg to differ with the article 'it's not as bad as the old west virginia jerseys...' first of all, those were t-shirts probably printed up at short notice after w.v.u. won the n.i.t., second as this article says, no one in w.virginia even printed them up! the 'natinals' were team uniforms! (probably messed up deliberately to raise money on e-bay) (or to commemorate 'illiteracy day')...

One of the Twins players wore a MINNESTOA jersey for a few innings in a game last season.

This would be a problem for the Oakland 's.

Bad spelling brought to you by Walgreens (the W on their hats looks exactly like the Walgreens logo: http://www.walgreens.com/)

Did all the misspelled jerseys also have the number 42 on them?
Posted by: ScottMGS | April 19, 2009 at 10:14 PM
Did you see earlier in the season all the N were upside down on some National Jerseys
