Super Bowl Gear

When the Super Bowl finishes and the winning team is given shirts and hats, do you ever wonder where the losing team's memorabilia is? Tonight the Steelers went away with snazzy Super Bowl gear with their franchise's logo on it, but the Cardinals will never see their hats.

I did a little google search earlier to see what I could find out about the losing team's gear. The New York Times published an article a few years ago to inform us about this topic.

Apparently, the gear will stay in boxes under heavy security until the time when they are donated to struggling nations in Africa. These people won't really know the problem with the shirts they wear, and the gear will never end up on eBay.

Interesting.
