T-O-R... O-N-O...T.Ooooooo FC?

[Technorgasm]

I hear there was a spelling mistake on the TFC / Real half and half scarf?

Is that a fact?

Anyone have a pic?

[flatpicker]

good god, I hope not!

that would be embarrassing!

[TK88]

Someone posted a link to Twitter with a pic of it in one of the other Madrid threads.

On the plus side we won't be paying for the event scarves. I haven't heard the story behing these but I cannot wait to hear it. I can assure you that the approved artwork from TFC had "Toronto" spelled the traditional way with just 3 "o"s.

:scarf: <----- for next time Paul

Yep, there is indeed a spelling mistake....LOL!
I have one that I picked up at the RM practice on Thursday night.

if the game was in Spain, and the scarf made in Spain, I might forgive the error.

but someone in Toronto managed to get it wrong????


Seriously... I agree, YOU'RE FIRED!

this will be worth a lot some day.. unique product ;)

[flatpicker]

ok, here is a question for those responsible...

Do you not have a vector image of the TFC crest on file?
One that you never change, and simple paste into whatever merch you are designing?

How can there possibly be a spelling error on the crest????
That seems impossible!

[Bobo]

Hey, those who bought them early enough are lucky. These sorts of printed mistakes end up raising the value.

This ML$E's doing?

[Gixmo]

Ya, those will hold thier worth

but still, YOUR FIRED!

Absolutely! It's not a letter once it is in the logo! The approved artwork had the vector image.

So the error occured (probably) in the factory where the were made.


I'm thinking of selling them now... It's a good story... But we couldn't sell them on game day... That would have been fromage!

[RealG-TFC]

^^ If you sell it at like 10$ I am sure no one would care. I still really want one.

[London]

^^^ agreed. if you cant sell em send me one

[905shmick]

Why would anyone pay for a scarf with the incorrect spelling of Toronto on it?

Hoping to display it on Antiques RoadShow in 40 years and get it appraised at $20,000?

The fact that the FO actually consider sell these things and the fact that there are people are willing to buy them is absolutely hilarious.

[still_purgatory]

I bought mine Thursday at the practice, you can't tell it's not spelled right when it's folded up in the plastic.... from the tag, looks like it was made in England.

I got mine for 5 dollars lol. The guy at the counter told me about the misprint and I told him I didn't care, gimme a discount, and he said 5 bux.

[sulfur]

There are still 5-10 of them at the adidas store at Dundas + Yonge. FYI.

[gtaguy]

anyone wanna pick me up one .. I can't believe the error.. this is what happens when you send all your work to china.

[SilverSamurai]

Wouldn't affect it since the spelling is the same. Doesn't change when translated (like most city names)
Still thats so weird!

I was just making a point that having a "Toronto produced" scarf with Toronto misspelled is ridiculous.

But since it has been pointed out that the error was caused by the manufacturer, my point is no longer pertinent.

I don't get it.

The vector would have the fonts converted into outlines, so in order for the mistake to be made, the factory would have had to delete the outline, and then retype the word in, using the correct font, and probably converting that back to outlines too.

I'm actually stumped, it almost appears deliberate.

[gtaguy]

can anyone take a picture of this scarf but with the tag that says where its made.. I want to laugh my ass off becuase i put my money down that its from the same person that made our seasons schedule in a paper tag... remember them..

Ya I know.
Could be Engrish or Spanglish depending on where it's made...

I'll buy a couple! :scarf:

[ilikemusic]

At least they got the important team's crest right. :rolleyes:

[Shakes McQueen]

Man, I'll still take one of those, haha. It's a factory error, who cares.

Pretty funny though.

When you're making a design like that you would retouch everything on a pixel-by-pixel basis (stitch-by-stitch) to make it as clean and legible as possible - especially the text.

Of course, you'd also spell it correctly.

Vector files are not pixel based graphics, they maintain their clean edges regardless of scaling.
