They are supposed to be destroyed (official merchandise is destroyed by the league).

These items are given to charities in the developing world.
"The Super Bowl will end about 10 p.m. Sunday, and by 10:01 every player on the winning team — along with coaches, executives, family members and ball boys — could be outfitted in colorful T-shirts and caps proclaiming them champions.
The other set of championship gear — the 288 T-shirts and caps made for the team that did not win — will be hidden behind a locked door at Dolphin Stadium. By order of the National Football League, those items are never to appear on television or on eBay. They are never even to be seen on American soil.
They will be shipped Monday morning to a warehouse in Sewickley, Pa., near Pittsburgh, where they will become property of World Vision, a relief organization that will package the clothing in wooden boxes and send it to a developing nation, usually in Africa.
This way, the N.F.L. can help one of its charities and avoid traumatizing one of its teams."

They are not destroyed. They get locked up immediately after the game, and then are sent to underdeveloped third world countries where there is 0.00457% chance of them being seen by anyone who knows better.

- however quite often you will see kids from underdeveloped countries in continents like Africa wearing them since they were donated by a poverty charity.
No Kidding!
