Good question, but it was the red Sunday home uniform; maybe it was the first time he had worn it? That's my guess.
And why would Majestic spell his name right on the home and away uni, but not on the Sunday red one?
Great pic of Harang with Cincinnati spelled wrong; or is the "i" hidden in a fold of the jersey??
No, it wasn't; here's what I could find on it...

Can we buy a vowel
The first "I" in "Cincinnati?" was missing on the uniform front of pitcher Aaron Harang during a game last week at St. Louis.
Harang finally switched to a different jersey, but not until after the Cardinals scored three runs en route to a 5-1 victory.
"That's the last time I wear that jersey," Harang told the Dayton Daily News.
Harang wore the same jersey for the first four days of this trip, but wore a jacket on top of it so nobody noticed.
"After the first inning, I came to the dugout and saw (pitchers) Paul Wilson and Eric Milton looking at me funny," Harang said.
"What up with that?" Wilson said.
"What?" said Harang.
"Your jersey."
Said Harang: "I thought I spilled something on it but Paul said, 'Cincinnati is spelled wrong.
Reds equipment manager Rick Stowe took the brunt of the abuse, especially because the game was televised. "The clubhouse guy from Arizona called me and said, 'What kindergarten did you fail?' " Stowe told the Daily News. "I always check the back of the jerseys for the players' names, but never thought about the front."
