Gear of a team that usually celebrates a championship they ultimately did not win. Specifically, I always wanted to own a "2013 St. Louis Cardinals World Series Champion" (The Cardinals lost to the Red Sox that year) shirt or hat since I know there is a limited amount of those out there somewhere as all the major sports leagues pre-print this merchandise in anticipation of one of the two teams winning in order to sell them immediately.

It may come as no surprise that the leagues do not want this merchandise hitting the states as it devalues the brand of this championship merchandise, and they have no intention of selling them to Americans (or any westerners for that matter). Typically, this gear is donated through an organization that will ultimately send them to third-world countries where the gear can find some actual use.

Still, I am shocked that a few don't slip by and end up in our hands where they'll inevitably make it to the ebay market over time. Seriously, I want a 2013 cardinals World Series pennant shirt, lmao.
