Remember after a championship game when the players are all given hats and shirts commemorating their victory? I've always wondered, hmm, if they printed these for one team, then they had to be printed for the other team, too. Where do these alternate reality shirts and caps end up at?
Turns out, they all head out to Africa. They really do. The NFL donates them to World Vision, under the stipulation that they are sent far, far away. Which they certainly are. There are several countries that they can be sent to (Sierre Leone being a recent one) and evidently this year's country is Zimbabwe. It just kind of strikes me as funny that somewhere in the African plains, people are running around with shirts and caps that say "Bears 2007 Super Bowl Champs" or "Patriots 2007 AFC Champs" or "Seahawks 2007 NFC Champs."
