I'm more outraged at the lack of apostrophe
I'm more offended by that font
Really, beyond the catasrapostrophe situation, there's further grammar fail with the ambiguity of it - they should clarify whether the wearer intends to be the wife of a footballer in the future (a future "footballer's wife"), or whether they are currently the wife of someone who will be a footballer in the future (a "future footballer's" wife).
It is, as has been pointed out, an outrage!
Surely the "joke" is that the wearer of the hat is a bit of a gold digger (sorry if I've misunderstood the meaning of "footballer's wife").
That was the inference I took from it. "When I grow up I want to be a WAG."
That and it's obvious crimes against design.

The only meaning you can derive from the cap is that the woman in question is likely to marry a dedicated football fan
it's not the only meaning and i'm fairly sure most people don't take it to be that meaning, if i'm honest.
It's not even a possible meaning. Football fans aren't footballers.
The obvious meaning is obvious. There is only one possible context in which somebody would be "proud" of being a footballer's wife.
Whats Eootball?

You think it means the wearer wants to be a future wife to many footballers? 😯
Isn't "footballers wife" a compound noun in the same way as hot dogs eater (polite version of my first thought)? 💡
If there is an apostrophe it would surely have to go after the s. ❓

Frankly, it's a really ugly hat, and anyone caught wearing it should be arrested and fined for crimes against aesthetics.
Also small children should point at them in the street and laugh, subjecting them to public ridicule.
At the very least.

Only if we legalised bigamy.

Not in a country where divorce (and death) is legal.
