that say "PHILADELPHIA EAGLES - 2008 NFC CHAMPIONS"?

You know the stuff is there at the stadium in case the Eagles had won.

I'm not talking home-made signs brought by fans.

I mean the NFL licensed merchandise the teams wear, the newspapers print in advance, etc.

    It costs what $10 to make a hat? Im sure they make a few dozen, and toss them after the winner is decided. Not a big deal.
    Am I speaking Chinese?

    Few dozen? Try several 1000's of various shirts, hats and the like.

    The article referenced notes 288 (or something like that....read it earlier) hats and shirts but they are only referring to items Reebok made for the teams that won. I have never seen a big game where fans could not purchase things as well instantly after the big game.

    You should also understand that the Home Shopping Club usually always has the items for sale the instant the game is over and they will be in Walmarts across the nation within days. All of this stuff is made ahead of time. If you wait to after the game to start production you could not get them out in time.

    I thought it was pretty amazing that one of the first commercials I saw after the Cardinals won was from the NFL advertising how you could get your offical hat or shirt proclaiming the Cardinals as the NFL National Conference champions...only 29.99 for a shirt or $19.99 for a hat if I remember correctly......

    This is VERY true. I've been to a few bowl/conference championship games in college football and baseball and immediately after the game ended you could buy a variety of different " (insert game here) Champion" t-shirts.

    they ship them to impovershed countries; but this year due to the economy they will keep them for the growing ranks of the unemployed and destitute in this country.
