After a big game in any sportsman , from a league title to the World Series , Super Bowl , Stanley Cup , etc . , people are going to be clamour for commemorative merchandise almost immediately , so it would make sentience to have two sets printed up — declaring each team the winner .
That ’s a lot of misprinted merch . Fortunately , there ’s World Vision .
The Seattle - based international Christian human-centred tending group puzzle out with Major League Baseball , the NFL , and the NBA to call for misprint product and distribute it to people living in wiped out nations .
( MLB used to require the end of shirts and hats proclaiming the wrong mavin , but two age ago they begin donating their postseason apparel ) .
The merchandise does n’t go to waste , people endure in poverty obtain new , clean apparel , and the article of clothing Jehovah recoup some of their losses — they get tax credits for the large-hearted donation . Why do n’t the clothes go to impoverished families in the United States ? Overseas contribution is part of the agreement between World Vision and the leagues . The far away the clothing is , the less potential it is to offend a lose player ( or heartbroken Texas Rangers buff ) .
Now that the San Francisco Giants ( note : I am from Philly . Booo ! ) have knocked off the Rangers , some of the Texas squad ’s championship merch will likely go to Indonesia , where World Vision ’s hand brake answer staff is dealing with the aftermath of a volcanic eruption at Mount Merapi in Java and a 7.2 quake in West Sumatra . Refugees are in do-or-die need of clean wearing apparel . Still more product will be pass on as it is needed in cataclysm - stricken and impoverished expanse around the public .
According toUSA Today , last twelvemonth ’s Super Bowl also-ran ’s clothes was donated to seism - ravage Haiti .
