NATINALS Jerseys

"I'd like to buy a vowel, Pat." Majestic Athletic
issues an apology for the misspelling of NATIONALS
on Ryan Zimmerman and Adam Dunn's jerseys.

It was, well... something you don't see everyday. But, during Friday's game at Nationals Park against the Marlins, Ryan Zimmerman and Adam Dunn had jerseys that read: NATINALS -- the "O" missing from the front of both of them.

This was not some Photoshop escapade, as apparently some have tried to argue (here's a shoutout to 'Duk at Big League Stew who has been apparently dealing with this).

Today, Majestic Athletic, who is licensed by Major League Baseball and currently holds on-field uniform rights for all 30 Major League Baseball Clubs, issued the following apology through company president, Jim Pisani:

“All of us at Majestic Athletic want to apologize to both the Washington Nationals and Major League Baseball for accidentally omitting the ‘O’ in two Nationals jerseys last week.  We take 100 percent responsibility for this event and we regret any embarrassment for the Nationals organization, players and fans.  

“Outfitting all 30 teams and 750 players is a duty we take very seriously.  Majestic has been trusted on-field for over 25 years.  Based on our history, clubhouse managers expect that every new uniform from Majestic is perfect.  For the Nationals, this time we did not meet this standard.”

One thing is certain: the jerseys will probably fetch a fair sum through auction, should MLB and the Natinals... I mean, Nationals, choose to do so.

What's the over/under on the number of articles written that make a joke about "no O"?

In 1994, Joe Carter took the field at the teams's first road game wearing a TORNOTO jersey. I don't recall the announcers on TV noticing it...

Majestic Athletic only embara*sed themselves... NOT the Nationals. Unfortunately, spelling and grammar have gone by the wayside... along with common sense (replaced by "uncommon sense"). Mispellings are no longer the exception, but the norm... you see this even on national t.v. news.
