Brandi Chastain is a two-time World Cup winner and two-time Olympic gold medalist who played 192 games for the United States national team.

She was accepted into the Bay Area Hall of Fame recently with a bronze plaque featuring an image that looks nothing like her:

This Brandi Chastain plaque is bad. Really bad. https://t.co/5fcX6sVxFj pic.twitter.com/lOY8Npo1CR

Holy hell! How does this happen?

It’s like the Ben Simmons bobblehead, the one that looks like Luther Vandross. 

Brandi was a trooper and took some pictures with the plaque anyway:

Personally, I think it kind of looks like Aunt Lydia from the Handmaid’s Tale. GREAT show on Hulu right now, watch it if you have time:

Was the Brandi Chastain plaque maker craving Wendy's when they made this? pic.twitter.com/NwA26DItFe

Brandi Chastain’s plaque looks like someone tried to imagine Babe Ruth doing the @chrissyteigen face. pic.twitter.com/KujRc44KQH
