The official shop of the National Football League was trying to celebrate state and hometown pride for several of its teams, but it appears to have made a big mistake.
NFLShop.com posted several novelty license plates with team logos over their respective states. As first noted by the Washington Post, the shop was selling a Washington Redskins license plate with the logo over the state of Washington.
The page for the product can no longer be found on NFLShop.com

"The WASHINGTON Redskins actually play their games in … well, they actually play their games in Maryland. But as everyone knows, the WASHINGTON Redskins actually hold their practices in … well, they actually hold their practices in Virginia. But as everyone knows, at least the WASHINGTON Redskins actually stage their training camp in … well, that's in Virginia too," columnist Dan Stienberg wrote. "So okay, it's a little confusing. Still. Whatever the team's proper geographic orientation, it has nothing to do with Washington state. Plus, our Gonzaga is better than theirs."
