"'We're not going to run from it': Sydney Marathon laughs off medal error"

Easy mistake when there are 7 Allianz Stadiums in the world

And it was probably 8 when they were designing the medal but Palmeiras didn't extend the naming rights contract https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nubank_Parque

I always thought these corporate naming deals for stadiums were gross. I remember when Canadian stadiums had names like "The Coliseum" and "The Skydome" instead of "The Roger's Center".

Wait til you see the names of the actual teams in the Japanese baseball league.

Any examples?

Classic QA oversight—someone missed a simple validation step in the design pipeline before pushing to production. Always audit your dependencies first.

The government of New South Wales (the Australian state of which Sydney is the capital) commissioned a corporate logo depicting a waratah (the NSW state flower) and got one showing a lotus. They still use it on everything.
