With the Kansas City Chiefs’ dreams of a historic three-peat gone, the apparel for the day that never happened has to go somewhere.
The Chiefs were unsuccessful in their campaign for a historic Super Bowl three-peat earlier this month, leaving many pre-printed victory gear in limbo.
Luckily, all of those shirts and hats are going to be of good use.
Kansas City hoped to become the first team to win three consecutive Super Bowls, only for Patrick Mahomes and company to be destroyed by the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Kansas City Chiefs’ loss is a ton of other people’s gain.
According to the Kansas City Star, thousands of shirts, hats, and sweatshirts made in anticipation of the Chiefs making history will now be shipped to people in need in countries around the world.
🚨NEWS: The #Chiefs three-peat Super Bowl gear has been sent out to people in need in Ukraine, Mongolia, Georgia, Estonia, and Latvia after the team lost the Super Bowl.

For more than a decade, the NFL has partnered with Good360 to distribute unsellable apparel after big games.
The merchandise is repurposed before being donated to countries such as Ukraine, Mongolia, Georgia, Estonia, and Latvia.
Here is how social media reacted:
“UPDATE: The shipment has been intercepted by Cooper DeJean,” one fan hilariously said.
