Do you buy AFC East Championship gear? - New England Patriots Forums

Very curious.

I do, because I collect all Division/Conference/SB hats. However, I never buy when they're brand new. I get for the huge discount prices after.

No. I bought an AFC Champ Tee back in 2001 because it was such a magical year and I was happy to just make it to the sb...no expectations of winning it. I have never bought one since then. I have three SB hats. Everything else is so lame in comparison. No offense to anyone here, just my quirky opinion.

I have 4 articles of Pats clothing:

An old-school Pat the Patriot cap.

3 long sleeve shirts, one from each of the SB wins.

I'm looking forward to my next purchase. Hope it comes this year.

I will when all the gear says 2010 Superbowl Winners

I sometimes do. But never when it first comes out.

I will probably pick up a 2009 AFCE championship tee shirt this summer for $2.

Usually only if they make it to the Super Bowl that year, then I will eventually buy a division champs pennant (if they win the division that year, that is; IIRC every Pats SB team has won the division that year except for the '85 squad.) I have a thing for collecting milestone pennants, don't ask me why.

If you go to a little village in Africa, you can get a bunch of free t-shirts that say, "Patriots 19-0".

I'm sure they are all filled with dirt and sweat by now, but to each his own.

I'll buy a Patriots Super Bowl Champion shirt, whenever the next one comes

Not sure about free. But you probably could trade it for a small sack of rice.

I am willing to bet you could then turn around and sell it on ebay for $100 or more. What Giants fan wouldn't want that hanging in a frame in their bar/den (dirt and all)?
