If you're going to make team jersey knock offs in China...

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Please let us know if it really is misspelled and not just on the online photo, I'll definitely buy one if it's a guaranteed misprint.

a friend of mine in high school got a chinese tattoo, told the guy he wanted it to say "perseverance", and recently he found out it roughly translates to "enjoys penis"

I don't understand why anyone would want to get a tattoo of a language, they don't understand anyway.

Probably the teams complained so much that the chinese had to just mispell the stuff at purpose to say : "do you see?? is not the same! it is just a little bit different"

One of my favorite bars just got a shipment of new t-shirts in: white t-shirt, with white graphics -- how the hell could the maker shipped them out like that?

Hey, idjit, guess what...Chinese has an 'L' sound in it. Chinese people have no problem making the "L" sound. The number 6 and the would for face, for example, start with the "L" sound.

I've hear so many native Chinese speakers say the word "English" that I am 1000% positive that your slur is incorrect.

As much as I hate cheap Chinese crap I hate stuf like this even more.

A drunk person will read whatever they want on the T-shirt!

Your fav bar could use some imagination and actually make a killing late at night selling these T-shirts as a collector's item. And when they run out, just sell blank white T-shirts -- the patrons won't know the difference.
