Fans left stunned at ‘truly awful’ error as football club manage to spell their OWN name wrong on official scarf
FOOTBALL fans have noticed TWO bizarre mistakes on the packaging of Yeovil Town’s official merchandise.
Two major spelling errors were made on some items – including the cardboard packaging for scarves.
Rather than reading ‘Yeovil‘, the label on the scarves read ‘Yeovl’ – with the i missing.
The word ‘merchandise’ was also misspelled due to the absence of the letter r and instead read ‘mechandise’.
One person took to social media after noticing the mistakes and wrote: “How importnt is spelling? Does it mtter if you mis out certan letters?
“The packaging for @YTFC’s new merchandise has two errors in the four words – including the word Yeovil.”
Another commented: “That is truly awful. Correct spelling and grammar are important. Without it the written word becomes meaningless.”
While a third said: “It’s about brand….its amateurish and devalues the brand. Tbf bet they’re gutted.”
In response, a Yeovil Town spokesperson recently told BBC Radio Somerset: “Human error is natural; we’re not robots.”
Despite the mistakes on the packaging, the actual scarves have no spelling errors.
