Apparently a local sportswear company doesn’t know how to spell. But that’s what they get for making jerseys for non-Philadelphia teams! It’s karma, baby.

Majestic Athletic in Northampton County, uniform supplier for Major League Baseball, misspelled “Nationals” on two of the D.C. player’s uniforms. 

Instead, “Natinals” was sprawled across Adam Dunn and Ryan Zimmerman’s chests during their game against the Florida Marlins last Friday, according to WFMZ.

"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," said Jim Pisani, Majestic Athletic president. "We take 100 percent responsibility for this event and we regret any embarrassment for the Nationals organization, players and fans." 

The Marlins won the game 3-2. Maybe the "Natinals" were distracted.
