Puma store in Hyderabad ‘misspells’ itself as ‘PVMA’, leaves internet in splits

A store in Hyderabad is leaving everyone in splits with a ‘spelling mistake’ on its signboard! The store in question is an outlet of the international athletic apparel and shoes brand PUMA.

One may have seen knockoffs of the German brand with hilarious names such as Puna, Pona, Ruma, etc., but a company outlet with a signboard reading PVMA instead of PUMA must be a first!

Much to everybody’s surprise, photos of billboards and signboards with the same ‘spelling mistake,’ purportedly from Bengaluru, have surfaced following the earlier photo. The now viral pictures have left everyone curious. While some say that it is indeed a spelling mistake, some are of the opinion that it might be a publicity stunt by the brand.

Meanwhile, since the photo of the ‘misspelled’ signboard has surfaced online, netizens have been having a field day at the expense of the apparel brand. As one would expect, people have come up with hilarious comments about the blunder on the signboard of the popular brand.

Take a look at some of the most hilarious posts and comments we’ve put together for you:

Did someone hack PUMA’s website and mess their logo or they officially changed it to PVMA? pic.twitter.com/g5vpNW0ZVl
