I remember reading back in the 90’s about how apparel for both teams in the Super Bowl was produced to be in the stores the next day. This was before on line shopping. The gear for the losing team was donated to an international organization that gave them out to refugees and others needing help. There was a picture of kids in I think the former Yugoslavia wearing Bills super bowl champion t-shirts. The Bills never won the big game.
