Update: Syracuse athletics says it "deeply regrets" jersey mistake

Former Orange basketball stars Roosevelt Bouie and Louis Orr had their jerseys retired by Syracuse University at halftime of the SU-Pitt game at the Carrier Dome on Saturday.

A closer look at the jersey given to Roosevelt Bouie at halftime revealed it was spelled wrong.

The framed jersey given to Bouie was spelled B-O-W-I-E.

So somehow, Syracuse spelled Roosevelt Bouie's name wrong on his memento jersey. 'Bowie.' — Donna Ditota (@DonnaDitota1) February 21, 2015

The jersey that now hangs in the rafters at the Carrier Dome was spelled correctly.

Orr's framed jersey was also spelled correctly.

The misspelled jersey received a big reaction on Twitter.

Doesn't get more embarrassing. They owe that man a makeup statue. RT @BrentAxeMedia Oh my. I think they spelled the Bouie jersey B-O-W-I-E. — Ryan (@liten_galen_ord) February 21, 2015
