What do they do with the losing teams 'CHAMPS' hats?

Question

Like at the Grey Cup and any other championshp game, the winning team gets hats and shirts right away. We know there were 'Winnipeg 2007 champs' hats and shirts there in case they won, I wonder what ever happens to them?

Answer 1

Depending on the league, they're sent to underdevelopped countries, or destroyed.

I also noticed during the divisional finals, none of the champions hats worn by the winners were team-specific.

Answer 2

They take the word "CHAMPS" and change

one letter.  The "A" becomes a "U".

Answer 3

Actually, I've heard that they get donated to third world countries.  Somewhere in Africa, there's a buncha kids running around with Buffalo Bills Super Bowl Champions T-Shirts...

Answer 4

Great question.

They should save some, just like those papers that declared Dewey won the presidency.  Those would be worth a fortune.

Answer 5

The burn them.  I'm told they put them in an incinerator right after the game.  It would be cool to get your hands on one though...
