Blue Jackets spelling error is really just a helmet adjustment

What had originally appeared to be a spelling blunder by the Columbus Blue Jackets equipment staff has turned out to be a simple helmet adjustment.

Michael Chaput's helmet seemed to read "Clumbus" on Saturday night, but really he just has a small head.

This isn't a spelling mistake. I had to make the helmet smaller. Which slid the o into hiding #clumbus pic.twitter.com/McShQj0qNf

It may seem silly that anyone would think a team could spell their own city wrong, but it has happened before.

Even "The Great One" himself, Wayne Gretzky, had his name spelled "Gretkzy" on the back of his jersey once.
