Eagle-eyed fans spot major error on college basketball team’s jerseys
College basketball fans noticed a glaring error on one team’s jerseys when they played this week.
Robert Morris took on Cornell on Thursday night and ultimately won 86-76 to solidify their hold on No. 1 in the Horizon League.
But eagle-eyed viewers watching the game on ESPN noticed a comical mistake had been made on Robert Morris’ jerseys.
The mistake became especially apparent when guard Josh Omojafo prepared to take a free throw midway through the first quarter.
That’s because his jersey, instead of Robert Morris, actually said Morris Robert.
To further complicate matters for the Colonials, a teammate on his right had the correct jersey, but another on his left had the wrong version.

Fans quickly took to social media to troll the team over the mistake.
One posted: ‘RMU better fire their jersey man.’
Another commented: “What in the world” with a laughing emoji.
“Robert Morris must be having an upset stomach,” a third added.
Despite the jersey confusion, Robert Morris won and brought their record to 5-2 for the season.
Omojafo was one of six Colonials to score double figures in putting their Ivy League opponents to the sword.
Luckily for Robert Morris, they have plenty of time to sort their jerseys before their next game.
They won’t return to the court until Wednesday, where they will face Canisius.
