I’ve always wondered this. Like, are the people predicting hard as to who’ll win? And how the hell do they make all of the shirts and hats that the winning team will celebrate by wearing just in time that they won the big trophy by?

Have other teams gotten things made for them once they got far in like the NBA Finals, the World Series or so but when they lost, they had to discard the made hats and shirts?

How does any of this work?

    All the merch is created before the games in the U.S. has both teams winning. The merch for the losing team is sent as a “donation” to poorer countries, but it’s basically just to get it out of the U.S. because they don’t want it being sold here.

      A knew a guy who did shoe donations. He couldn’t even give a pair of shoes away to anyone in the US or he’d lose some of his contracts.

      That’s actually amusing.

      I’m imagining someone over on the other side of the world, wearing a 2004 St.Louis Cardinals WS Champions hat or someone wearing a Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl LVIII Champs shirt as well.
