Great Britain pitcher Ian Gibaut lost the “T” on his jersey during his team’s World Baseball Classic battle against Columbia on Monday.
While Great Britain’s jerseys have gotten some hate for looking so boring, the “T” on Gibaut’s jersey came loose and flipped upside down.
The pitcher, who plays for the Cincinnati Red stateside, didn’t leave the letter hanging for long, He wiped the loose “T” off his jersey and continuing on with the day with just “Grea Britain” on the uniform.
Just like all of us, the announcers noticed the “T” on Gibaut’s jersey before it got knocked to the ground.
However, maybe it gave Britain some luck, as they won the day’s game against Columbia, 7-5.

Well, it doesn’t always help that letters on jerseys like this aren’t stuck on very well. Maybe the rest of Gibaut’s teammates will get rid of the “T” on their jerseys and all be “Grea Britain” out of solidarity.
As we know, Great Britain has a tough history with handling “T” when it spills.
