Cujo Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Our friends at Old Navy are at it again....This is about the third or forth time they've goofed on a tee. If they are going to manufacture NFL and NCAA team gear, they should at least two minutes of research to insure they get it right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaytonBlue Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I read an article about this on another site earlier today, and someone suggested that it's the start of a new marketing line of imaginary teams winning imaginary championships!Here are some ideas to start (some not completely imaginary):Montreal Expos, 1994 World Series ChampionsQuebec Nordqiues, 2022 Stanley Cup ChampionsSeattle Supersonics, 2016 NBA Champions "I did absolutely nothing and it was everything I thought it could be." -Peter Gibbons RIP Demitra #38 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothieX Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I'm sure it's all done in good fun. I think it's kinda funny.The teams that lose the World Series and send a bunch of Texas Rangers world champs shirts to El Salvador is one thing, because you need some initial stock in the event they win, but this is just a gag I think.

andrewharrington Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Keep in mind that this stuff may not be designed by Old Navy. It could be designed by an NFL licensee specifically for Old Navy. Either way, every piece of licensed gear is supposed to go through the NFL for approval...

rtrich11 Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I want to know who this third party design house is. Are they farming this out to China, or something? I know Old Navy is cheap, but if these are domestic they are paying non-English speaking immigrants to do this. Spend a few bucks and avoid these continued embarrassments, which by the way, are costing you money. cafepress.com/artbyrichards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PittsburghSucks Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Before the took them down I saw one that said Cleveland Browns 1964 NFC Champions.Sure thing.One thing they got right is that the Cleveland Browns do belong in the NFC!!!Another F*** up by Art Modell. Moving them to the AFC in 1970.They should have moved Atlanta, Minnesota and New Orleans to the AFC.Baltimore, Cleveland and Pittsburgh should have been left with the rest of the old school NFL teams that made up the NFC.

Where do we sign?! The road to the Super Bowl just got a billionty times easier!" The move worked out for the Colts and Steelers. Can't exactly say the same for the Browns. (Btw, CLEVEJACKED!)

illwauk Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 I remember reading that the plan was for the three former AAFC clubs (Baltimore, Cleveland and San Francisco) to join the AFC, but when Al Davis protested the 49ers moving over, Art Rooney volunteered the Steelers (who'd been perennial NFL bottomfeeders for four decades) thinking they could dominate the AFC for awhile. Hard to argue with the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
