Sao Paulo welcome Welliton by misspelling his name on his shirt

Brazilian striker Welliton joined Sao Paulo on loan from Spartak Moscow and when he showed up for his first day of training, his new club had a personalized shirt all ready for him. With his name spelled wrong.

Sao Paulo's kitman apparently felt that Welliton could use another "n" in his name, so it was spelled "Wellinton" on the shirt. Though in his defense, Sao Paulo also have a defender called Wellington, so some level of confusion was probably inevitable.
