Bob Kraft first and foremost is a huge fan of the New England Patriots.
Victor Kiam was the owner of the NEP from 1988 - 1991 and is most famously known as the owner of Remington Products and the phrase line ""I liked it so much, I bought the company!" So famous in fact that the phrase "Doing a Victor Kiam" has now become a term for a customer who becomes the owner of a company. It woud be accurate to say Kraft "did a Victor Kiam" when he purchased the NEP.
Not long after Kiam died. The NEP moved into Gillette stadium, named after a competing razor company, and Gillette appears on the team's practice uniforms.
Did Kraft ever say anything about this? If it is a personal dig against an ower he thought mismanged the team or anything like that?
