When A Forfeit Is The Only Answer
The hapless Washington Nationals took the field the other night wearing the branded uniforms pictured below:
Yea, the uniforms are spelled incorrectly. Can you imagine a major league team sending their players out in misspelled uniforms? I can’t. I’ve seen major corporations re-print hundreds of thousands of dollars in brochures because someone missed a typo and spelled the company name wrong. Shouldn’t your branding mean something?
If you can’t get your own name right what can you get right?

Perhaps they felt that O was an unlucky number……

What a crazy mistake! I guess when things are going bad stuff like this happens. Personally the Nationals branding does nothing for me. I miss the old Expos and have never gotten over the fact they were moved to DC. If you want to see a cool logo and and attractive branding that’s error free, look no further than the old Montreal uniform.

PS. Great site by the way. This article caught my attention because I write a sports branding blog…take a look if you get a chance.

that was a stupid mistake. Didn’t they notice this beforehand?

With the Nationals having the worst offense in Major League Baseball this year the equipment manager could have just been making a statement that their team had no o(ffense).
