Hats of the Super Bowl Losers

Super Bowl XLV - perhaps the last event in the world where Roman numerals are still used. A good contest this year with proper ebb and flow. Perhaps the biggest fumble of the night was Christina Aquilera's muff of the National Anthem. Ozzy Osbourne might've done better.

But what fate is in store for all the "Pittsburgh Steeler Superbowl Champs" ball caps kept under the bench in case of victory? Marred by a scarlet L for "loser," the caps might find their way to eBay for purchase by collectors of loser memorabilia. Or maybe there is a Loser Museum filled with Chicago Cub 2003 collectibles, Mondale-Ferraro buttons, earth shoes, and Window's Vista.

Very enjoyable game, and being a Green Bay fan since the 60's a most welcome outcome.

Oh, and thanks, John, for your handy tip on embedding a video to the blog.

I'm happy that the first embedded video is an appropriate one -- or at least one that's close to the family. Please check it out when you have a chance!

Wow. Great minds think alike. I've had this same thought for years wondering what happens to the "champions" merch created for the team that ended up losing.

Troy said...

Like you and Craig, I've oft wondered the same thing. There must be a landfill somewhere off the coast of Costa Rica that is filled with erroneous championship hats, misprinted headlines predicting different outcomes, and abandoned Guns N Roses tracks for Chinese Democracy.

Troy,

That would be a funny visual in a film. In the BG, we see all the Cleveland Cavilier NBA Champ caps and buttons reading, Cher for President.

If there is no objection, I shall attempt to shoe horn that visual gag into one of my cartoons.

Make it so, Luke.
