The baseball team that plays in our nation's capital, Washington D.C., has a fairly bland name--the Nationals. Not as storied as the Yankees or Red Sox, not as festive as the Brewers, not as misery-ridden as the Cubs. Just kinda...there. Serviceable, but not much else.
Still, that's not reason to misspell the name. Yet, that's what Majestic Athletic, which provides the uniforms to the team, did on the jerseys for Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman, dropping the "o" in "Nationals."
Granted, the "o" lands just on the other side of where the jersey buttons up--just as, as one reader pointed out regarding the misspelled Wolves uniform art, the missing "l" could be hiding in the fold of the jersey--so when the player is wearing the jersey, the typo isn't nearly as obvious.
One assumes, however, that someone at Majestic Athletic takes at least a glance at their product before shipping it off to be viewed by thousands of baseball fans all over the country, well before any human being has donned the uniform.
But we all know what happens when one assumes, don't we?
