Ryan hit a grand slam with his misspelled jersey, but was weird about it and switched to a correctly spelled jersey later in the game.

A History of Misspelled Uniforms
The Internet is freaking out over Eugenio Velez’s San ‘Francicso’ jersey. With a little research, I found out misspellings happen fairly often. Here’s a time line of misspelled uniforms starting with one of the most racist baseball teams ever.
I know, right? Now tell your friends!

Davine S. 3 years agoI am absolutely flabbergasted… it’s one thing to misspell a difficult surname, but printing West Virgina, Cncinnati and Kentcuky? And common words/names become Nayv and Smtih? REALLY?! If they paid the athletes a little less, they could afford to hire a couple of really great proof-readers, for crying out loud. It’s not rocket science.

Nate Holland 3 years agoI think the Belicheck picture is not a misspelling, but rather the “E” and the small line in the “Q” were worn off from heavy use. Its what happens when you win championships!
