Andre Drummond is now in his third season with the Detroit Pistons and has appeared in nearly 150 NBA games. Shouldn’t the equipment managers know how to spell his name? On Monday night, Drummond took the court against the Chicago Bulls with a …
Texas Tech wide receiver Devin Lauderdale caught three passes for 113 yards and two touchdowns in a loss to West Virginia on Saturday. The two touchdowns were the first of Lauderdale’s career. His best game at Texas Tech was a three-catch, …
Lou Amundson was signed by the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday and was immediately pressed into action for the team’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers the same day. Since he was only on the team for a few hours before playing in his first …
One game into the college football season and we already have our first jersey mistake of the year. This one came in the season opener between North Carolina and South Carolina when Gamecocks kicker Elliott Fry’s jersey was missing a letter and …
The Milwaukee Brewers and Miami Marlins paid tribute to the Negro Leagues on Saturday night by wearing throwback uniforms. Mostly everything went smoothly for the Brewers at Miller Park as they honored former Negro League players George Altman and …
Minnesota Twins rookie Chris Colabello has had only 11 at-bats in his Major League career, so he is not yet fully familiar with how things work at the MLB level. In the big leagues, all of the games are televised. That means if you wear the wrong …
Zack Greinke pitched the first several innings of Sunday’s Angels-Rangers game with his last name misspelled on the back of his jersey. As you can see in the screen shot above provided by Mock Session, Greinke’s last name was misspelled …
Brock Holt was playing in just his third major league game on Monday when he got the rookie treatment … from the clubhouse equipment manager. The rookie second baseman’s number was placed on the wrong side of the front of his jersey. The …

Note to all MLB teams: Start proofreading the backs of jerseys. We have featured a number of jersey mishaps here on LBS over the past few years, but this could be the first time we’ve shown you two of them on back-to-back days in the same …
I don’t know who Stephen Strasbrug is, but I hear the Nats have a guy named Strasburg who is a pretty good pitcher. I guess when you’re manufacturing thousands of jerseys, you’re going to screw one up here and there. But why does it …
The Bulls signed veteran guard Mike James on Wednesday from the D-League, and he arrived in Chicago in time for his team’s game against the Wizards. Only there was one catch: the equipment managers didn’t have a chance to add a nameplate …
Milwaukee pitcher Zack Greinke made a pinch-hit appearance Saturday for the Brewers. Greinke put down a sacrifice bunt in the fifth that moved Jonathan Lucroy over to second. As odd as it was to see a pitcher pinch hit, what was stranger was seeing …
The Redskins claimed quarterback Matt Gutierrez off waivers from the Bears earlier this week and had him in uniform for their preseason game Friday night. One problem: his last name was misspelled on the back of his jersey. It read …
It truly amazes me how frequently we seem to come across jersey mistakes for professional athletes. A few weeks ago it was Andray Blatche of the Wizards getting the treatment, and before that it was Danny Jennings of West Virginia and Kevin Williams …
