ozzyman314 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Even before i found out about this site and CC posts on "phantom merchandise" the concept had always interested me. I guess I always found those kind of "locker room" products more interesting and unique than the more generic stuff they come out with later. Through working at sports stores myself, knowing friends who also did, and just general online searching I've managed to collect a few I thought I'd share, if anyone is interested. Most are from New England teams, but there are a few others as well. https://i.imgur.com/ZL8Vwap.jpg - Patriots Super Bowl XLII Hat + shirt (still hurt a bit ) https://i.imgur.com/4j88ipi.jpg - Patriots Super Bowl XLVI hat https://i.imgur.com/b0dGCco.jpg - Patriots Super Bowl XLVI shirt https://i.imgur.com/Dy1jfrA.jpg - Patriots Super Bowl XLVI towel https://i.imgur.com/8PwJmew.jpg - Patriots 2012 Conference Champions hat https://i.imgur.com/IjULtNt.jpg - Patriots 2015 Conference Champions shirt https://i.imgur.com/8OwfogX.jpg - Seahawks Super Bowl XLIX hat https://i.imgur.com/QtVGaU2.jpg - Eagles Super Bowl XXXIX hat https://i.imgur.com/Gdwmpdp.jpg - Bengals Super Bowl XXIII hat https://i.imgur.com/QwYZ7KB.jpg - Red Sox 1986 world series champions hat https://i.imgur.com/u0yQQW1.jpg - Red Sox 99 ALC shirt + hat https://i.imgur.com/0HDaUKA.jpg - Rockies 2007 world series hat https://i.imgur.com/UMOJMCQ.jpg - Tigers 2013 ALC hat https://i.imgur.com/dkEGpBD.jpg - Athletics 2013 ALC hat https://i.imgur.com/KUBTeQ4.jpg - Braves 2013 NLC hat https://i.imgur.com/rWCINpY.jpg - Celtics 2010 NBA Champions hat https://i.imgur.com/CkRCUBf.jpg - Magic 2010 Conference champions hat While this is just my personal collection, I also have some images I've saved of other phantom merchandise i don't own from more various teams (Indians, Packers, Bills etc) if anyone is curious. Of course if anyone else has anything interesting to share i'd love to see it too. Red Sox: 8 Celtics: 17 Bruins: 6 Patriots: 5 Phantom Merch Collector.

dhamen0420 Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Did any of your "resources" get in serious trouble for opening the box and "distributing" the merchandise? I have a few buddies that work at Dick's and said how tight security is on those boxes and that they can not open anything until the final game is over.

I have a few buddies that work at Dick's and said how tight security is on those boxes and that they can not open anything until the final game is over. As far as I know they didn't. I used to work at a Sports Authority and the manager there let us keep the Pats XLII & XLVI shirt & hat as keepsakes since they just end up getting donated/destroyed anyway. I think it depends on the game & the kind of person managing the store. You can look online and see video of stores like Dick's having to put back "Falcons Super Bowl LI Champions" merchandise after the game. So they do open the merch early occasionally. While sometimes they may be the hardline person that won't even put take the boxes out until the clock hit 0. The person I got the 2013 League Champions hats from said he worked on designing them which explains how he got Athletic & Brave's versions since both of those teams lost in the Divisional.

ozzyman314 Posted November 24, 2017 Author Share Posted November 24, 2017 Thought I'd just share this I got recently if anyone was interested. I find it odd that the Patriots logo was actually stitched into the hat rather than a patch that is glued on like most hats. Usually they don't stitch them until much, much later. Like I've only seen them do it recently with the XLIX & LI Champions hats. And I have seen Packers champions hats that were patches. Hmmm. Though the Conference Champions hats of that year were the same way. I also do miss when championship shirts (and hats for that matter) had awesome designs like this. Everything seems so generic now.

Well, y'know, any designs with the slightest amount of thought and originality put into them are terrible and everything should just be modern and samey. /s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
