CHAMPIANS or CHAMPIONS? Denver Nuggets NBA Championship hats appear to have misspelling

After the Denver Nuggets became NBA champions on Monday night, players, staff and owners quickly were handed hats that appear to have a typo, reading CHAMPIANS instead of CHAMPIONS in cursive writing. (The looping font appears to have the connecting line from the O and the N in the wrong place.)

Those hats were also sold at Dick's Sporting Goods stores.

The NBA Store on Tuesday was showing two different versions of the hat -- one with the AN and the other with the ON.

Other stores selling sports gear and later batches of the hats appear to have the ON.

One CBS Colorado employee is hoping his hat with the AN becomes a valuable collector's item someday.

Common Core educational standards in America no longer require students to learn cursive.
