Quite literally the most basic error was made when Montpellier released their new shirt.
The Ligue 1 side have been forced to apologise to supporters after discovering that the jersey for the 2017/18 season was sold to fans with the name of the club misspelled on the badge.
Le Figaro report that it wasn’t just the replicas of the shirt which were sold with ‘Montpelier’ on the front but, in fact, the players’ shirts also displayed the incorrect spelling during the opening games of the current season.

The club officially apologised for the outrageous error in an statement on Friday morning, which reads as follows:
“Dear supporters, MHSC has indeed been the victim of a logo error on a series of shirts put on sale.
“The logo provider has made two sets of logos, one with a fault.
“The logo’s provider, aware of their fault and taking full responsibility for it, is committed to solving the problem today.
“On presentation of your shirt at the club store or the Nike store in Montpellier, you can immediately have your logo replaced.
“You can also choose to exchange your shirt for a new one, or receive a full refund.
“Only our supplier and manufacturer of logo is responsible and in no case our equipment manufacturer, Nike.
“Sincere apologies to our supporters.”
