Former Carolina Panther Rae Carruth was released from prison Monday morning, and apparently a few misguided fans tried to celebrate by creating a custom Carruth jersey on the NFL’s official shopping site.
The league quickly blocked any attempt to do so.
If you try to create a jersey with Carruth’s name on the back, you will get an error message:
“We are unable to customize this item with the text you have entered. Please try a different entry.”
Carruth, 44, was a first-round draft pick of the Panthers in 1997. In January 2001, a Charlotte jury convicted him of conspiring to murder his eight-months-pregnant girlfriend, Cherica Adams.
