Question Division champs gear -- who buys that stuff?

I can see how Colts fans might go ape-***** over division champs hats, sweatshirts, T-shirts, etc., but who among us wants to pay hard-earned bucks for that stuff?

I certainly wouldn't. To me it might as well say "I have low expectations" on it.

Maybe I'm jaded, but while a division title makes me happy it just doesn't blow my mind anymore.

I agree, and I was surprised and disappointed to see BB and Tedy wearing them. I want the team to continue to have the attitude they have had in the past -- namely that the goal every year is to win the Super Bowl, and anything less is falling short.

I'll admit I buy a T-Shirt. That's all. I like to wear it during the playoff games and it's OK to wear if we don't go to the SB. If it becomes obsolete after we win the big one - I can live with that. But in 12-13 days I'll be wearing mine during our first playoff game.

I remember in 2003 when the Colts were facing the Pats in the AFC championship game the Colts website was already selling Colts AFC champions T-shirts.

I only get conference championship and Super Bowl gear. The division title stuff is of no value to me. It's like when the Red Sox went ape over a wild card berth and printed t-shirts for that. That was an embarrassment.

That suprised me too. I can't remember them doing that the last few times they won the division.

Brady was wearing the T-shirt in his press conference as well. I think it was OK for them to wear it for, say, an hour or so immediately after that game. I wonder how much the league pushes coaches and players to wear those things so fans see it and feel encouraged to buy them.
