Three I can remember from the good ol' days:

1971 Astros road flannel of the late pitcher, Davr Roberts, with NOB spelled RBOERTS. Supposedly worn in a nationally televised game according to the late Herb Elk, Mr. Houston Sports of the 1970s and '80s.

1986 White Sox home and road knits of Jim Fregosi, NOB spelled FREGSOI.

1977 Giamts ornage knit of Rob Andrews, worn at Wrigley Field and photographed by the Sun-Times, with a front reading SAN FRANCICSO.

As I am from Venezuela. I remember the case of venezuelan player Eliezer Alfonzo with the Giants:

I would like to have that jersey!

Here is my favorite misspelling as it pretty much sums up the World Football League. The WFL is my favorite defunct league, but they just couldn't seem to get things right.

This is a game-used fishnet jersey of Birmingham American's linebacker and team captain Ross Brupbacher who also played a few years with the Chicago Bears. Old-time Bears fans will recognize that they left the letter "p" out of his name.

Always looking for WFL and Atlanta Falcons jerseys, and Darren Lewis and Willie McGee equipment.

In the 2004 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, Chris Anderson of the Denver Nuggets wore a jersey with his name spelled "Anderson".



The same mistake was made during the NBA's "Green Week" in April of '09, but a quick fix was made to the jersey before gametime. The right side of the "O" was cut off, leaving a "C", and sewn horizontally in the middle to make an "E".

Wow, sorry. Chris Andersen. I guess it's somewhat appropriate that I misspelled his name in this thread.

I should have looked closer at this auction that just ended, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...#ht_4271wt_939

It was for a Royals BP jersey for 3rd base coach Luis Silverio, but spelled SLIVERIO on the back. I pulled it up and found this information on the Royals webpage.

"SLIVERIO" read the back of third-base coach Luis Silverio's warmup jersey on Friday. Obviously it was a sliv-up. Silverio covered the misspelling with a jacket and went about his business. .

Would have been a cool jersey to own, and it only went for $27! If I had only looked closer when I set my lowball snipe....

A friend bought a game-issued Albert Arias 1992 Cubs road jersey at a Cubs Convention many years ago...the front read CHICACO.
