Bengals fans, ever seen one of these before?

[COOP]

I just picked this up tonight at an antiques store, and thought it was too cool to pass up. It might not be that uncommon, but its the only one I have seen, and I couldn't find another one on Google, so I thought I'd share. Anyone else on here happen to have one of these

(Hint: The Bengals didn't win the Super Bowl)

I doubt it will ever be worth any money but its definately a curiosity. Im sure that one one the workers snuck it out the back door at the plant where it was manufactored instead of destroying it after they lost. I have a friend who has a couple of Coke cans comemorating a team for winning a game tht they lost. I want to say it was from an OSU/Mich game that Michigan was supposed to lose but won a couple years ago.

I would definately hold onto it for the cool talk factor if nothing else.

I had the same one as a kid and lost it somehow growing up. My mom back then worked at a Hallmark store and they had tons of Bengals stuff. She brought home some things after they lost. I am guessing that is what happened here.

Might not be worth anything but it's cool as hell.

i like it :bigthumb ... it seems like every major championship game (baseball, football, basketball) both teams have championship memorabilia printed before hand ...

thats a nice piece, looks to be in perfect condition ...

This happens all the time. They make the merch in advance so the day after they win, you can go out and buy the shirt and hat the day after the game. My friend had a ball with this when he worked at a Cardboard Heroes

[COOP]

Thanks! I figured it was one that someone snagged before they were sent back or destroyed. It was too cool for me to pass up.

I was drunk at a party yesterday posting from my blackberry. I was meaning to put 2009 for this year. Budlight got the best of me.

2010 would be correct though.

[MWoods26]

That is really cool. I remember reading or seeing somewhere years ago that whenever there is a superbowl or nba championship or huge major sporting event of course there are shirts/hats made up for both teams but all the merch from the losing teams are donated to the needy in like third world countrys. So just think somewhere on the other side of the world there is a bunch of kids who thought the Buffulo Bills where THE SHIT back in the 90s:lol:

[Pitbull1052]

I've got both penants and a 6 pack of who-dey beer still in the plastic rings. Good find though!

[COOP]

Gotta love the Hu-dey beer! I've got both of the '88 sets, the regular and the AFC championship ones, but I still haven't come across a 6-pack of the '82 cans.

Anyone on here have one?

What other cool bengals gear do you have?

Me I have these:
