Misspellings on bootleg merch are one thing, but on official items from merch kings KISS? Well, even the hottest band in the world isn't immune to errors.

KISS performed in Cincinnati on August 29 and as with past tour dates, they had city-specific t-shirts available for purchase. The only problem was Cincinnati was misspelled and included an extra "T." Twitter user Pat Francis playfully asked, "Hey @KISSOnline is $50 the going rate for a shirt with the city misspelled?"

It's an honest question about a shirt that certainly isn't cheap. So far, KISS has yet to comment on the shirt, but perhaps they'll offer a correctly spelled version online to make up for the mistake. If there's one thing KISS doesn't want to miss, it's the opportunity to make a sale.
