After the Denver Nuggets became NBA champions on Monday night, players, staff and owners quickly were handed hats that appear to have a typo, reading CHAMPIANS instead of CHAMPIONS in cursive writing. (The looping font appears to have the connecting line from the O and the N in the wrong place.)

Those hats were also sold at Dick's Sporting Goods stores.

The NBA Store on Tuesday was showing two different versions of the hat -- one with the AN and the other with the ON.

Other stores selling sports gear and later batches of the hats appear to have the ON.
