Reebok Releases Statement on Misprinted MMA T-shirt

Reebok, the official apparel company of the UFC, faced another wave of online criticism on Tuesday when it was revealed a T-shirt designed to promote Anderson Silva and his Brazilian heritage instead referred to the former middleweight champion as 'Anderson Aldo.' The link to the garment was originally available, however, Reebok has since rerouted the URL.

For its part, Reebok said the error is the result of a mistake made at a single manufacturing location. "Unfortunately, an error was made at one of our printing facilities," said a public relations representative for the company. "We are currently working to rectify the issue."

Reebok's June launch into the MMA and UFC space got off to a rocky start with now-notorious misspellings on fight kits of fighters, such as Gilbert Melendez.
