PHOTO: Latest Reebok flub sees the mythical 'Anderson Aldo' emblazoned on T-shirt
The UFC's partnership with Reebok continues to be an unmitigated disaster.
With embarrassing mistakes piling up seemingly every time the apparel giant rolls out something new, fans can now buy a T-shirt to support the mythical beast known as Anderson "The Spider" Aldo, likely a terrifying hybrid combining the skills of Anderson Silva and Jose Aldo.
A Reebok representative has since blamed the error on one of the company's manufacturing facilities.
"Unfortunately, an error was made at one of our printing facilities," said a PR rep said, according to MMAFighting.com's Luke Thomas. "We are currently working to rectify the issue."
The UFC-Reebok marriage was doomed from the very beginning, with fighters' names being botched or misspelled as early as launch day.
