How on earth do you not spot something like that until it has gone on sale? How many people have read it so far?

That's shocking

Easy, I work in Print and Design and I have seen far worse. It's called sods law, it's also called being hidden in plain site. Mistakes are always obvious once you spot them and the more obvious the easier they are missed, strange as it seems.

It's a funny thing but we all think what other people do is easy, a bit like we all know better than the Coach. Some poor sod will have worked out that strip to enth degree but someone made the mistake early on and from that point no one was looking for it. Ho hum.

My thoughts too! Obviously beyond his line of sight eh?

Truly shocking! I'd have returnted that shirt immediately.

Ha ha! I see what you did there. Clever

Just one of those things to be fair. The original graphic mocked up had it down ok so it must just have been someone getting excited spelling out Furniture again (which must have been done seperately to the 'Castles' graphic).

I don't give a shiny e if you worked for a dictionary company.

You proof read things which are important. It's not difficult. If you've seen worse then you've seen bad processes where things don't get checked. There are few words on this thing to check. You'd think it would have been checked properly before it was printed, this is going to cost a lot of money.

A whole season of Wakefield programmes called the club 'TRNITY' or some other mis-spelling.

This mistake [ishould have been[/i extremely easy to spot (especially as there was so little to check), but clearly [iwasn't[/i. The shirt must have been seen by many people, presumably some of them highly literate, before getting into the customers' hands. It's pretty amazing that the error wasn't spotted but the fact that it wasn't supports Vastman's point and makes your response look pretty arrogant.

Or lack of attention to detail. No excuse.

People make mistakes, it happens. I'm sure whoever was responsible will get a decent kick in and won't do it again.

But even on careful reading, some mistakes can be made.
Try this: count the number of F's in the following sentence. Take your time, but only count ONCE, or there's no point.

Many people, even knowing it's a test, and so following these instructions, will get the answer wrong. It's not because they're careless, nor because they're thick. Summat to do with the way the brain works, and proof that making mistakes is actually very easy.

This is what I cannot get my head around. It clearly isn't difficult to spot, so either it hasn't been checked by that many people (how many employees do you think York Knights have?) or nobody was looking for the right things.

A lot of us have to submit well worded letters in every day life be it a CV or a letter to a managing director. I refuse to believe it is THAT difficult to spot a spelling mistake.

I would think that some people would keep their shirts as memorabilia. I suppose it would become quite rare in a few decades.

It IS really easy though, and sometimes it's so obvious that no-one can see it.

As an example, in the course of my work I had to design an A1 size poster incorporating a number of large images for public display. I had already printed a number of copies for approval, all of which were passed. The poster had six photos on it plus some explanatory text. It wasn't until the next day, when I looked at printing and distributing the poster, that I realised that there were only five different photos- i.e. one of the photos appeared twice.
As a test I showed the poster to at least 10 colleagues asking if they could spot the error. Only one saw it within 5 minutes. The rest were totally gobsmacked when I showed them what they simply couldn't see.
Like Vastman said - hidden in plain sight.

gah that's nothing.

Could this be a bit of "outside the box" marketing - good way to get people talking about York RL.

Impressive



I trust the criminal responsible has been duly apprehended.

They wish it was.

pardon my eyes but.............where's the problem

'Main paragraph to read' shouldn't be on the poster .

Actual stock in our club shop a few seasons ago. Shockingly not just once, but twice!!
