I don't wear team kit. But I think I want one of those. I'd want a guarantee that the name is f***ed, though.

I am the last guy to be defending Chinese scumbags dumping inferior quality knock-offs but I kind of understand when it comes to spelling.
It's obvious that no-one at the factory caught this but, to be honest, there are several NBA players with 'Chinese tattoos" that are either gibberish or cause uproarious laughter with those who can actually read the language. If you want to dump on China for their business practices (and hey, the line starts behind me) feel free but spelling is just too easy.
Having said that I did giggle a little bit, too.

Good point.
I mention them only because they are a clear and present example of fracked up Chinese n the west.

If you get a tattoo in a foreign language, confirmation of intent seems critical to avoid the I have a small penis tattoo.
