Have you ever wondered?

This doesn't really have anything to do with our family, but it is timely.
Have you ever wondered what happens to the t shirts that are printed with the losing superbowl team -the 288 T-shirts and caps made for the team that did not win?
Here's an article in the NYTimes (last year) that tells what happens to them.
They go to World Vision where they are then "the gear is flown, along with school and medical supplies, into a major city. It is then driven to one of the villages where World Vision staff members work. They distribute the shirts and caps at a community center, about two per family."
I thought this was really cool. At least they are not destroyed and wasted.
Here's a more up to date article: http://www.worldvision.org/Worldvision/pr.nsf/stable/20080125_superbowl
