NFL Makes Embarrassing Redskins Mistake
The NFL released a new line of NFL-themed "State Pride" license plates, but made one very big mistake with the Redskins.
WASHINGTON, DC — The NFL Shop unveiled a series of license plates aimed at appealing to fans who want to represent both their team and the state they come from. But they screwed up big time with the Redskins plate.
The "State Pride" license plate for the Redskins, which has since been pulled from the shop, showed the Redskins logo not over the District, but over Washington state, according to a Washington Post report.
And it's not the first time this has happened. One user tweeted back in May a picture of a decal with the same problem.

This is truly startling… as normally, for a mistake of this sort, one must look to the White House press office. https://t.co/R8k5PIVpun
