Fans can go back to customizing their own 'Harambe' MLB jerseys
- 8 years ago
MLB fans can go back to ordering their own custom "Harambe" jerseys after a retailer mistakenly banned the word. Fanatics, the company that runs online retail for the four major U.S. leagues, proactively added the name to a frequently updated list that instantly rejects the word when a fan tries to create a jersey nameplate. "Harambe" was subsequently added to the banned list for the other leagues, including the NFL. Harambe the gorilla was killed by a zoo worker May 28 after a 3-year-old boy climbed into the habitat and was dragged by the animal.
