Frenchie Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Article posted on Yahoo:"Fri Feb 15, 11:08 AM -MANAGUA (Reuters) - Shirts and caps proclaiming the victory of the New England Patriots -- when the American football team actually lost the latest Super Bowl -- have ended up in the hands of poor Nicaraguan children.Hundreds of shirts and caps, which had been manufactured in advance to celebrate the Patriots' expected victory over the New York Giants, were handed over to children in the southern city of Diriamba."The children are the winners," said Miriam Diaz, of World Vision, a Christian humanitarian organization.World Vision has links with the National Football League, or NFL, and every year helps out poor children in Latin America and Africa with the unwanted "winners" shirts of the team that actually loses the Super Bowl.Winners' shirts and other garments are produced in advance so players and fans can put them on to celebrate immediately after the final whistle of the game. Garments of the losing team are obviously unwanted.The Giants stunned the previously undefeated Patriots 17-14 in this year's Super Bowl.(Reporting by Ivan Castro)"Anybody see any on ebay yet??? @Frenchie_TO Owner of the Rochester Americans of the MLH Owner of the Toronto Frenchies of the GCFHL6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viper Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 They even have "19-0 - Perfect Season" on them. Priceless.Edit: In light of Spygate II, I wonder how many "St. Louis Rams, Super Bowl XXXVI Champions" T-shirts are still in existence across the Third World? That may well be the new Holy Grail of all sports collectibles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 They do that with just about every t-shirt box that remains unopened following a loss. I thought they were thrown in the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
