TAIPEI (TVBS News) — The Facebook page "Sports Fan Fun" (球迷瘋) issued an apology Tuesday (Nov. 26) evening for the merchandise error in their "Team Taiwan" baseball jacket. Fans celebrated when Taiwan's national baseball team clinched the World Baseball Softball Confederation (WBSC) Premier12 championship, but a controversy over the origin of their merchandise quickly followed.
An error on the "TEAM TAIWAN Baseball Jacket" sparked outrage as its hang tag indicated Taiwan, while the wash label revealed it was made in China. The Facebook page selling such merchandise acknowledged the mix-up and expressed regret. They explained that the jackets were produced in batches, with the initial lot indeed manufactured in China, leading to the incorrect use of Taiwan-origin tags.
The organization pledged to enhance quality control processes to prevent future labeling errors. "Sports Fan Fun" emphasized that all jerseys and T-shirts remain Taiwan-made, reassuring consumers of their commitment to transparency and accuracy. As the "Team Taiwan" slogan gains popularity, this incident highlights the importance of precise product labeling in maintaining consumer trust.
