Losing Teams Gear

I'm sure you have noticed that every time you watch a major sporting event come to a conclusion, that the champions are immediately wearing Championship gear. When the Steelers won Super Bowl XLIII a few weeks ago, they were wearing "Pittsburgh Steelers Super Bowl XLIII Champions" gear within minutes after the final whistle.

It's not secret that the reason this happens so fast is that the championship gear is printed for both teams, so that they can cover whoever wins.

But what happens to the gear for the losing team? What happens to all of the "Arizona Cardinals Super Bowl XLIII Champions" hats and t-shirts that are never needed? There have always been theories on what happens with it, but I have the definitive answer for you. The t-shirts, sweaters and hats are donated to World Vision. World Vision then donates these items to children in need. Check out the links at the World Vision website HERE and HERE.

Doesn't it just warm your heart to know that somewhere there is a child who is being kept warm buy a 'New England Patriots Super Bowl XLII Champions' sweater?
