ASICS Apologizes for English Typo on Tokyo Marathon T-Shirts – Brett Larner – Japan Running News

On Feb. 28 sports maker ASICS apologized on its official website for a typo on T-shirts made for the Mar. 2 Tokyo Marathon 2024. ASICS is an official partner of the Tokyo Marathon.

Earlier in February this year it began selling limited edition Tokyo Marathon 2024 t-shirts. However, a spelling mistake was discovered in the design on the back of the t-shirt. In a map showing the course, the English word „FINISH“ was printed as „FUNISH.“

 

„We have discovered that some of the Tokyo Marathon 2024 limited edition t-shirts released in February, 2024 have a printing mistake,“ said the company’s statement on the incident.

„We sincerely apologize to all customers who were inconvenienced by buying the faulty products. ASICS said refunds would be offered to anyone who asked for them and promised to take steps to prevent this kind of problem from happening again, saying,

„We will further improve our quality control and take every step possible. We appreciate your understanding and ask for your continued patronage of our business.“
