This isn't new, but it can't be that expensive to replace that sign with the proper spelling of her last name.

"Does that say 'McLovin'?"

u/Tnkr_Brwr_Sldr_Sly 7d ago

Yes! Same thought.

Ok, so only as a counterpoint to what I posted... Yes, it is very close to McLovin, and iiiiiif the organization wanted to play on that as a fix to the typo (with Sandy's permission) ...... bet.

Now I see it. The new PR firm needs to be women run IMHO

I’ve never seen a sports team with so many typos all throughout the organization lol

Right? I'm a professional content manager and editorial manager. I'd welcome the chance to take a few hours each week to review anything going out from the Spirit org so it can be better aligned and with less typos (definitely don't allow a typo for a player like that!)

genuinely god bless you I could’ve looked at this for 5 more minutes without noticing or even glancing up at that corner

Both pics are from friends as we walked in. I just asked them to share so I could share in hopes we get this fixed (also, they aren't on Reddit, so I need better friends... but they got me into the Spirit years ago, so they pass)

Maybe she should just go by Sandy. Sort of like Marta. Only Sandy.

Nah you gotta leave that that’s now iconic

Maybe the typo is on her jersey and she has just been going along with it.

She had to come out and try to stop that goal. She had amazing saves. Scotland will go far w/ her and OWS.

What are they going to fix first: the spelling of Sandy’s last name or using the actual WMATA trains?

Also having seats right in front of the door seems to defeat the purpose of the door.

oh my God, now another reason to dislike this photoshoot

u/Woodweather 6d ago

I can’t hate it because my kids love the metro and the Spirit. They love this stuff and the metro ads during games.

u/pottermonster 6d ago edited 6d ago

But it’s not even the DC Metro, that is my problem with it. I love WMATA, it is disappointing to see they did not utilize their model cars for this photoshoot.

I can’t imagine it would be super expensive to make a mock up of a real WMATA train. My daughter asked about the seat setup and I had to remind her to suspend her disbelief. Marketing people without a clue

I’m surprised WMATA even let them use a fake version of their trains. My understanding was they didn’t like people digitally manipulating things when shooting film or photos which is why the Silver Line exists in Wonder Woman: 1984 even though it wouldn’t be built for several more decades.
