Liverpool FC bosses have denied they are profiting from the HiIlsborough disaster by selling shirts with Justice 96 printed on the back.
Fans have complained about the merchandise, seen at the club’s Liverpool One shop.
But a spokesman told the ECHO that a single shirt with the message on the back had been put out on the shop floor by mistake.
He said: “For some years, we have happily printed Justice 96 on the back of shirts for fans who asked for it.
“In this case a shirt was ordered via mail order with Justice 96 on the back, but was returned because of a sizing issue.
“It was then mistakenly put out on the shop floor. “We continue to be happy to print Justice 96 on the back of shirts for fans who ask, but have not marketed the shirts or advertised them. It was a one-off mistake that it was out on display.
“Everyone at the club is proud of the relationship we have with families affected by the disaster.”
