Another obstacle for the Pats & Bears

[patchick]

"Your SB Champions, the Indianapolis Colts," just doesn't role off the tounge. It isn't going to sell tickets, merchandise, or gain very many new fans.

That's a great point, and potentially a divergence in the interests of the tv networks and the league. The networks are most concerned about ratings for the game, the league makes a killing on hats and t-shirts. (I assume that fees for merchandise w/the Superbowl logo are shared?)

If you're in the hat and t-shirt business, you want Chicago in the worst way. Pats fans' closets are already full. :snob:

My closet can never be too full of Patriots SB memorabillia! It's wall space that I'm running out of...I have three huge posters commemorating SB 36, 38 and 39. I'll have to hang a new one on the ceiling!
