Equipment Blunders

[Samets]

I wanted to start a fun thread and this seemed like a good idea...

I didn't find a similar thread so here it is! I only collect Chicago Bears so I can only contribute what I collect. Here are two that I've seen:

Curtis Conway was spotted wearing his sleeve numbers on his shoulders during the October 23rd, 1994 game at Detroit.

Patrick Mannelly wore a jersey with his name plate a bit off during the October 10th, 2010 game vs Caroline Panthers:

With Samets being a Bears fan and collector, I wanted to share a blunder in my collection of a Birmingham Americans (WFL) road jersey of former-Bears linebacker Ross Brupbacher. They forgot to include the "p" on the nameplate!

The Americans wore this fishnet style jersey on the road (wore white at home) during the early part of the season in the summer months before switching to mesh in the second half of the season as the weather cooled.

ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WFL UNIFORMS

note the misspelling of the Bill Ripken Worth game used bat that he used in 1987 Spring Training:

I don't have a photo, though I remember a Cubs-Giants game at Wrigley Field in 1977 where the Giants were wearing their 1-yer style orange jerseys with city name on the front and Rob Andrews' gamer had a city name that read "SAN FRANCICSO".

The Washington "Natinals" jerseys come to mind. My favorite...

Image link didn't work, but the link shows the jersey.

In my collection, I have an Ellis Burks's Red Sox road gamer with "Burkes" on back.

That's happened a few times since, too

Former major league player Dane Sardinha played independent league baseball here in Hawaii last year. I was the official team photographer & I got the following photo during the same at bat. The front of the jersey shows #27 while the back has #24. He wore the jersey for the first 3 games until the new one arrived.
