BlueSky Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 Having had no occasion until now to ever buy or even browse Super Bowl Champion gear, I was astounded to see the range of items you can use to remind everyone you come in contact with for the rest of your life that your team won the Super Bowl. We have...MonopolyLeather checkbook coverLunch sack (Great for rubbing it in with those pesky co-workers who follow other teams.)Hitch cover Popcorn tin'Slanket' (Blonde and sofa not included) And finally, the "You've got to be s***ting me!" award goes to...The official Super Bowl Champion mini-fridge.

Saintsfan Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 The problem with this kind of stuff is that its great for a year, but what happens to your lunch bag next year, when the Falcons or some other rival of the Saints has won the Superbowl? Suddenly you look like a chump! Be good to know what the pieces for the monopoly set are? I have a 1998 World Cup (soccer) edition of monopoly that has a pretty smart little replica of the FIFA world cup as a piece. Does this have a Vince Lombardi Trophy as a piece? 2011/12 WFL Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly you look like a chump! I don't really see how. The Saints will always been the Super Bowl XLIV Champs. They may not be the defending champs this time next year, but they will still be the Super Bowl XLIV Champions, which is what all of this stuff is saying.

BlueSky Posted February 15, 2010 Author Share Posted February 15, 2010 I don't really feel any desire to buy any of this stuff. I'll wear the same Saints gear I've worn for years. Everybody knows they're the SB champs, it's not like anybody's getting a news flash about the game's outcome.I may get one of the fugly field hats the players were wearing just for display purposes on what my wife calls my 'Saints shrine,' but that's about it.

Mings Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 My girlfriend bought a bigger version of the lunchbag...and proceeded to rub it in my face that the Bengals still haven't won a championship.Why oh why did Kimo von Olhaufen have to destroy Carson's knee in 2005?

CDixonDesign Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Just like the Love for Junk Food, and Cup Holders, we live in a society who prides itself in collecting "stuff". Mostly useless stuff, like what you've mentioned, but "stuff" in any shape or form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not like the Browns have done anything recently.Although you have a very valid point, and if my memory serves me correctly, the o-line was one of the weak spots that year.

scooter13 Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Some of it doesn't surprise me. Especially the leather checkbook. I've had a Detroit Red Wings leather checkbook now for nearly 10 years. But gotta agree about the minifridge. That's just too much.

Lee. Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I don't know, I was on the fence about buying just a plain Saints mini fridge. But now that it's got the Super Bowl logo on it too, why, that's TWO LOGOS for the price of ONE. VALUE!Also, there's nothing wrong with the socks. I'm sure most of our local dollar stores will be carrying them soon enough, meaning we'll all go quietly to buy a couple of pairs, because hey, socks for a buck.
