kingfish Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 If your team won its conference (like nfc, or afc, east west, or AL and NL), would you buy and/or wear the championship shirt or hat? I certainly would not. If your team loses then its no point in celebrating being 2nd place and just winning conference, and if your team wins why wouldnt you just get the championship shirt? What is your take on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Check my Stats Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 What team do you support for football? I only ask because it easy for someone who cheers for a team like the Lakers, with such a winning culture, to scoff at a 2nd place finish (or something like that). Championships are not the only way to measure success of a professional sports team. Cities that have embraced losing teams should be proud of their teams for being successful, even if it doesn't necessarily mean they are the champions. If the Raps won the East I'd wear and Eastern champs t-shirt of theirs, I don't cheer for a football team so this is really the only way I can relate.

reno Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Id wear it until they lose the finals/Superbowl, then Ill probably never wear it again. IF they went on and won it all, sure, but I'd probably wear the superbowl champions instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted January 25, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'd consider wearing a Raiders shirt that read "we almost made the playoffs" on the front of it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NomarFachix Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I bought a conference championship t-shirt when the Giants beat Green Bay in '07. I wear it all the time. I also have an "18 wins and 1 GIANT loss" shirt :glasses: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) I had a 2000 NLCS champs shirt still wore even after we lost. I think I even had a 2006 NLDS shirt Unfortunately not many playoff wins for my teams besides that...

magicbalala245 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 (edited) Like people stated depends on your team. If your team has a winning culture and is a custom to winning titles then there is no use of buying a conference championship shirt. But let's say you were a team like the Detroit Lions or the Los Angeles Clippers then it be worth it to buy a conference championship shirt.

Guru Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I also have an "18 wins and 1 GIANT loss" shirt :glasses:I have the same shirt. :glasses: But to answer your question, [expletive] no I would never wear or buy a conference championship shirt. Second, third, forth place only means one thing... you LOST. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I bought four of them when the Heat won the conference.....I have no idea why I have so many, but I do. I only wear them to sleep though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YugoRocketsFan Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I probably would tbh, in a city like Houston which has really no winning teams, most people would be proud to wear a championship or even conference championship shirt, people went crazy here even when the Rockets got to the 2nd round, and when we had that 22 game winning streak.

Cleveland's Finest Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 When the Cavs on the ECF in Game 6, my dad and I waited in line for like a half hour at the team shop following the game to get dozens of hats and shirts. I guess it depends....for teams like the Lakers or Steelers, it's common. But for franchises where it's rare or the first time, you can understand why those fans would want it. Something to remember with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
