Anyone want a Patriots AFC Champion t-shirt? Anyone?
(Courtesy ESPN) |
Modell’s Sporting Goods dropped an estimated $500k in now worthless Patriots AFC Champion apparel which hit the shelves a day before the AFC Championship game.
Oops.
Of course the Pats lost 26-16 to the Denver Broncos and now the store is stuck with the worthless merch.
A Modell’s spokesman told the Boston Herald:
“We took a tremendous risk. We printed up everything: hats, shirts, T-shirts, novelties, pennants — you name it — for men, women, kids.”
Since the stuff is worthless it will now be donated to a third-world country. Hear that, Zambia?
