: : : : : : : :
: : : : : : : : Why is all the Super Bowl Champ shirts,hats etc. gray? Are they going to change there colors?

: : : : : : :
: : : : : : : They do this for marketing purposes. Nobody associated with the Steelers including the Steelers fans have gray hats or shirts, so the NFL selects a color for the masses to buy just so they can have what the actual players were wearing. Back in 1995, when the Steelers played Dallas, the NFL chose a tan and dark brown color scheme.

: : : : : : : Just a way for the NFL to make sure that the item is unique so that people will go out and buy their new items.
: : : : : : sorry speaking.

: : : : :
: : : : : : They are gray because they were designed long before the Super Bowl was won.
: : : : : : On NFL. com you could pre-order the shirts depending on who you thought would win. If the Seahawks had one, the fans who ordered Seahawks shirts would have the SAME shirts, except there would be a Seahawks logo were the Steeler logo is and that would be the "Super Bowl Champion" shirt they would be selling everywhere.
: : : : : : They had the SAME shirts WITH the SEAHAWKS logos printed up and waiting in case Seattle won. Then they would have been wearing the SAME hats and shirts.

: : : : : : p.s. I'm a Steeler fan, and I own MANY gray t-shirts. I also know I've seen many a Steeler wearing a gray t-shirt in the past.
: : : : : : A GRAY T-SHIRT...Yeah, that's UNIQUE!

: : : : : Who do you think licensed those shirts?

: : : : : The teams or the NFL????

: : : : : The NFL. Go back through previous Super Bowls and look at the color schemes. You are right about having both teams printed up beforehand, but it all has to do with marketing. They could use white shirts for both teams year after year but they don't, do they oh wise sports-minded person?

: : : : No shit...the NFL license them. What's that supposed to prove? The NFL licenses everything fron keychains to barbeque grills.
: : : : Yes....For the Super Bowl Champs, they DO use the same shirts for BOTH teams "year after year". Like I said, they were designed the same for both teams except for the logo. They used a nuetral color (gray) because it is just that...nuetral. They certainly did not use GRAY because it is "unique" as you say.

: : : : Don't get mad at me because you blabbed about something you didn't know anything about and turned out to be WRONG.

: : : : I know what you're talking about. I saw I guy at Walmart yesterday wearing, get this, a GRAY t-shirt and BLUE jeans! Boy did he stick out like a sore thumb! What a unique individual.

: : : It is difficult to debate ignorance, but here we go.

: : : There have been many Steelers t-shirts, sweatshirts that have been gray, but they did not have the Super Bowl logo. Are you following or are you still stuck on the color gray. I know you probably do not like sports and do not understand marketing, so we will break it down even more. You say there have always been Steelers shirts that were gray. Did they all have the Super Bowl XL logo on them? Can you tell me in the past 10 years how many Super Bowls and Super Bowl apparel licensed by the NFL had the same color and logos? You speak about things you do not know and then look foolish with whatever name you use.

: : : You cannot, because it did not happen.

: :
: : Your are Correct Sir "It is, AS YOU SAY, difficult to debate IGNORANCE
: : Yes, it is difficult to debate ignorance. Ignorance in and of itself, shows off stupidity, short attention span and inability to speak his mind WITHOUT proving the other guy RIGHT 95% of the time.
: : So YES it will be nearly impossible for you to debate me using your Ignorance. Ignorance versus a guy who knows his shit. That's gonna be a tough row to hoe. Yom Skinny

: :
: : You are a moron.
: : The shirts are gray because gray is a neutral color which could have been youed with any teem. Simple as that.
: : There is no PLOY by the marketing departments to try to get the people to buy these shirst because they are this "unique" gray color.
: : It is simply a nice design, printed on a nice shirt, of a color which will complement ANY teams colors, names or logos.
: : So basically Speaking, you should have just said, "Charlie,They just use a neutral color scheme and design on them when they design them up beforehand, that way, regardless who wins, the shirts will look nice with the names and logos of the winning team on them, regardless of who it may be."

: : But no, you had to go on some marketing rant, telling me how inferior I am to you massive knowldge in this area.
: : Then you had to imply that I know little about the game.
: : Marketing....I'll give you, But I haven't missed a Steeler Game since I was 6 usually on TV(sometimes in 3rivers or Hienz) but also 1 trip to Orchrd Park and 4 trips to Cincy before they tore down Riverfront.) So yeah, I'm a fan.

: : It's plain and simple and I really can't believe you are arguing about it.
: : I'M DONE.
: : p.s. you're wrong.
: : I'M DONE

: You are inferior and you are wrong.

: It has nothing to do with it being a neutral color. It has to do with $$$.

: More pearls of wisdom. The phantom poster once again states things that simply are not true and then tries to twist them to save face.

: Pitiful. Do some reading. Take a few classes. But, understand what you are talking about before you post. I am serious. It seems like any thread you give input, you are getting taken to school. I guess if you like being in that position, then you should keep it up////////////Thanks for all the answers and I didn't mean to stir up a hornets nest,,,,Well heres another question,,,,,,,,,,,I heard the losers shirts are to be donated to third world countrys, and some of them have ended into the market place out west.Any comments about that story????
