'Fire whoever made this!' — Netizens brutally slam Manchester Super Giants after embarrassing mistakes in jersey reveal video

Sanjiv Goenka-owned Manchester Super Giants have unexpectedly become the subject of online jokes following the launch of their new jersey for the Hundred 2026 season. The franchise, previously known as Manchester Originals, unveiled a red-and-blue kit inspired by Manchester's football culture, combining the iconic colours associated with Manchester United and Manchester City.

The jersey reveal was accompanied by a 53-second promotional video featuring stars such as Jos Buttler, Sophie Ecclestone, and Aiden Markram. However, instead of focusing on the new design, fans quickly noticed several unusual moments in the clip. One sequence appeared to show Markram bowling without a ball before running in the opposite direction, leaving viewers confused.

The video drew further criticism for a series of strange visual inconsistencies, including players seemingly changing kits mid-action and a wicketkeeper making an unrealistic sideways dive to complete a catch. These odd scenes sparked widespread reactions on social media, turning the launch video into a viral talking point and overshadowing the franchise's new-look jersey.

The controversy arises from the franchise's 53-second jersey launch video, which was released to showcase a kit inspired by Manchester's famous football rivalry. The design combines the iconic red associated with Manchester United and the blue of Manchester City. However, instead of drawing praise for the new jersey, the promotional clip quickly attracted criticism for a series of glaring visual errors.

Although the video features several international cricket stars, fans were left puzzled by multiple AI-generated sequences that appeared unrealistic. In one scene, South Africa's T20 captain Aiden Markram, primarily a batter and part-time spinner, is shown charging in with a fast bowler's run-up despite not having a ball in his hand.

Another sequence shows England wicketkeeper-batter Jos Buttler diving for a catch while still wearing batting gloves, with batters dressed in white Test kits visible in the background. The unusual visuals were widely mocked on social media, with many fans questioning the quality control behind the official launch video.

Fans were quick to analyse the Manchester Super Giants' jersey launch video and soon spotted several errors that became the main talking point online. One of the most noticeable moments showed Aiden Markram charging in with a fast bowler's run-up despite not appearing to have a ball in his hand. Another scene appeared to show players switching between coloured kits and white kits during the same sequence.

Viewers also highlighted a clip where Jos Buttler seemed to dive for a catch while still wearing batting gloves. In the background, batters dressed in Test whites could be seen, despite the video promoting a franchise T20 team. These mistakes led many fans to question the level of attention given to the production.

The criticism did not end there. Some fans pointed out what looked like an empty stadium appearing in parts of the video, while others questioned why a women's cricketer appeared to be shown as an umpire in one of the scenes. Several users also highlighted awkward player movements and unrealistic fielding actions, suggesting that parts of the footage may have been AI-generated.

As the video spread across social media, the discussion shifted away from New Jersey and towards the numerous visual errors. What was meant to be a celebration of the franchise's new identity instead became a viral talking point for all the wrong reasons.

Many questioned how the clip was approved and published without anyone noticing the mistakes.

Here are some of the fan reactions:

As the criticism continued to grow, the focus shifted away from the new red-and-blue jersey and onto the quality of the promotional video itself. While the kit launch succeeded in generating attention, it also highlighted the risks of relying on poorly executed visuals. For many fans, the episode served as a reminder that even the most creative marketing campaigns can backfire when basic details are overlooked.
