You may remember the above catch-phrase from that viral Snickers commercial from a few years back (embedded below). Unfortunately, the Washington Natinals are no joke.
During Friday’s game at Nationals Park versus the Florida Marlins, Ryan Zimmerman and Adam Dunn sported uniforms that read: “NATINALS” – without the letter “O”.
There was no Photoshop trickery here, although conspiracy theorists are having a field day with this.
Majestic Athletic, the company that holds the uniform rights for all thirty MLB teams, issued the following apology today regarding the Natinals jerseys:
“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.”
Let’s hope they auction those jerseys off. I bet someone wuld pay a lot of mony for thse.
