The Nets tweeted out a photo of Brook Lopez with a Nets Jewish Heritage Night T-shirt on which “Brooklyn” was misspelled.

Well, if you want your “Represent Brooklyn” T-shirt in Hebrew — properly spelled Hebrew — now is the time to buy.

The Nets celebrated Jewish Heritage Night on Thursday against the Sixers by offering T-shirts in Hebrew stating “Represent Brooklyn.” Only the “Brooklyn” part, in Hebrew, was misspelled, an error caught on the team’s official Twitter account. The Nets moved quickly to rectify the goof.

The new shirts, complete with proper spelling, were on sale at the team’s store before gametime.
