Nesi427 Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Phillies fans reading this morning's editions of the Philadelphia Inquirer were given a momentary reprieve of believing Sunday night's meltdown was nothing but a bad nightmare. In reality, someone in the paper's pre-production department must have been even more confident than Jimmy Rollins to schedule this ad for the day after Game 4. No word on if the papers will be shipped to Africa with the shirts they advertise.

Gothamite Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I wouldn't put the others in this category - nothing wrong with online pre-orders to be cancelled if the team doesn't win. Newspaper ads are another thing altogether. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian E Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I don't have a pic, but in Baseball Weekly's holiday gift guide column for Christmas 2000, they advertised 2000 World Champions apparel and showed a picture of the 2000 World Champions hat with the Mets logo. That one broke my heart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
