They take the "loosing" team's gear to third world countries for poor people to wear.

They are all donated to non profit organizations and given to kids in Africa and other wartorn or empoverished parts of the world. It's kind of sad because they dump them there where they think on one will ever see them, meaning they won't ever leave that area. However, I wouldn't complain about having a superbowl shirt or something like that. Right now I'm glad to have my Packers hat, those things are so expensive!

They ship them to third world countries, there's actually some program that does it, I can't remember what it's called. I do remember seeing a video about it not too long ago, I think it might even have been on Yahoo Sports. So if I want a genuine Super Bowl champions T-shirt for my Chicago Bears, I'll have to go to Somalia and get it.
By the way, it's "losing," not "loosing."

they take them to far away places in third world countries where there is very little electricity let alone a television and they are givin out..i know fotball does this and i am sure others also do, they usauall amount to about 5000 shirts hats and other stuff that is preprinted, and when the final out come is done they immediatly pull the losing teams winning shirs and ship them off and as for the winning team goes into mass production so the local stores and others have them for us early in the mornin..some stores are known to open just for the shipment so they could sel to us early buyers

They send them out to third world countries i.e. countries that don't have televisions. I think it is better than throwing them away. At least some kid in Africa has a shirt on his back. Doesn't matter if the shirt says the Chicago Bears are the 2007 Super Bowl Champions....the kid is happy either way...

Throw away or burned or given away.
Althought, I have a 1997 Indians World Series Winner shirt!
I still see it happening that way :(

They give them away to the less fortunate in other countries. I saw that on a video we watched in one of my classes, can't remember what it was though.

Good question, I hope they give them away to poor people.
