Regardless of who wins the Super Bowl this year, one U.S.-based charitable organization will be helping donate the losing team’s pre-printed merchandise to countries overseas.

In this Feb. 4, 2018, file photo, New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick walks off the field after the NFL Super Bowl 52 football game against the Philadelphia Eagles, in Minneapolis. The Eagles won 41-33. TORONTO -- Regardless of who wins the Super Bowl this year, you can bet the winning team cradling the Vince Lombardi Trophy will be decked out in championship apparel -- mere minutes after the game ends.

But what happens to the thousands of pre-printed sweaters, T-shirts and other victory memorabilia for the losing team? Since 2015, Good360, a charitable organization based in Alexandra, Va., has been helping distribute the losing team’s arguably unusable NFL merchandise. Their work also includes finding recipients for excess NFL merchandise and pre-printed merchandise from the AFC and NFC Championship games.

She called the items “sensitive donations” during a phone interview with CTVNews.ca and she wouldn’t name specific countries. She said the secrecy was meant to avoid repurposed items ending up in the “grey market here in the United States or into auctions or flea markets.”
