For fans who have been longing for a customized Harambe jersey but have yet to make the purchase, you are officially out of luck.

Online retailer Fanatics has put an end to those sales.

ESPN's Darren Rovell noted Wednesday Fanatics has prohibited fans from customizing jerseys with the name of everyone's favorite gorilla. And sure enough, when you visit the league's official online fan shop and try to put "Harambe" on the nameplate, you get an error message:

It's a sad day for football fans everywhere.

Just a day after it became known that "Harambe" was on the list of banned names, the "mistake" had been cleared up:

According to Rovell, a Major League Baseball team had contacted Fanatics after becoming concerned about the fact that fans were putting "Harambe" on jerseys. A Fanatics employee reacted by putting the gorilla's name on the reject list.

However, once word of the banned name spread, that move was reversed.
