The Sacramento River Cats will fine you if you misspell their name

The Sacramento River Cats minor league team sent out a press release to the media warning them of the common misspellings of their name. In the press release, a $1 fine will be imposed (in which the money will be donated to charity) if the team catches a misspelling of their name.

There are exceptions such as quick written notes, Twitter mentions and text messages. But spelling the team name RiverCats, Rivercats rivercats or River cats is unacceptable. Check out the release in the tweet above.

Good for the team for taking charge in this. But my only problem is that I have been spelling it RiverCats for the longest time because, well, quite frankly, their logo sure appears that way.

It’s River Cats. The kerning doesn’t tell me that though.
