TT star hits out at dodgy T-shirt seller

Friday, 19 June 2026 14:16

A TT star has hit out at dodgy merchandise after spotting a T-shirt about him that couldn't spell his name.

John McGuinness took to Instagram to point out the shirt being advertised online had only one N in his surname instead of two and also used the TT initials on it.

In the comments alongside the photo, he said "If you're going to do a T shirt that I haven't endorsed please spell my name correct!"

The Department for Enterprise often targets those who use the letters TT, which it trademarked in 2012.
