What is the threshold for you to buy “champions” gear?

[MMXcalibur]

Do you buy division champion gear?
Would you buy conference champion gear?
Super Bowl Champion gear or bust?
Would you, could you with a fox?

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Super Bowl at this point.

[-King-]

I'm going to go broke buying Superbowl merch if we win

[FlaChief58]

I typically buy division hat or t-shirt but not this year. If we win the AFC, I'll get some conference gear. If we win it all, I'll spend way more money than I should.

[SAUTO]

AFC champs

[stevieray]

I might do hats for each, just in case they win it all.

[KCUnited]

Honestly, I only buy the Hyvee/street vendor stuff that has names and player illustrations on it. No one will care about just a basic "2018 such and such Champions" shirt in 20 years, but if there's a list of player names on the back like concert city/dates and maybe like a Mahomes/Kelce/Tyreek illustration on it, that's a keeper.

[Best22]

Division champions shirts don’t move the needle. I’m always happy to add another to the rafters but it feels empty to wear a shirt bragging about it

If KC wins the AFC I’ll wear that shirt. For atleast 2 weeks...

If we win the AFC I'm buying a bunch of shit. SB win and I'll hoard it like you've never seen. Just have to buy a little less for each of the following Championships, right?

[cooper barrett]

Not buying anything that doesn't say "Super Bowl 53" even if "loser" is screen printed across the front of what would have been "Champion's" shirts.

I'll be a proud Chief's fan just to get there, Winning would be better yet I hear "but Chiefs" in the back of my head. It has been 49 years and as much as I wish for it, I just don't feel it.

Not getting my expectations too high after Seahawk's loss.

[tk13]

Super Bowl champs is where you go all out. I did buy a couple Royals "American League champs" things in 14 but winning a pennant is a bigger deal in baseball just because of the history of it. I've never bought a division champions anything.

[Pointer19]

I stopped by a shop on the way out of town this morning but didn’t see any division champ gear that blew my skirt up. I figure I can’t NOT buy conference champ gear if it’s the first time seeing it in my lifetime.

[Coochie liquor]

I’ve never bought championship gear. I’ll buy an AFC champs shirt if we go to the SB, and if we win....

[KCUnited]

I have a Hyvee level Royals WS series shirt with a cartoon character of Yordano Ventura on it. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing it now, but in 20 years, hell yes.

[Saleenman607]

I don’t support the NFL
So I don’t buy their shit

[Bwana]

Super Bowl

[Rain Man]

When I was younger I probably would've bought some, but my criteria now is that I have to be on the roster to wear stuff about the roster's accomplishments.

[BottomShelfBoose]

Super bowl and AFC Champs fo sho do

[Prison Bitch]

I don’t support the NFL
So I don’t buy their shit

If you won’t buy a Chiefs AFC champs shirt then you’re a shitty fan

[carcosa]

I'm going to go broke buying Superbowl merch if we win

Same

When the royals won the WS I bought a shirt and a winter hat as soon as I got home from the bar

[Pointer19]

Twelfth man doesn’t count?

[Rain Man]

Twelfth man doesn’t count?

I'm on the practice squad.

[Reerun_KC]

Buying AFCW champions gear is like giving the retarded kid a participation trophy. But then again that’s the crowning bragging rights for true fans. Football fans buy afccg or super bowl gear and don’t settle for less.

[kc rush]

SB winner gear. Anything else is just a waste.

[Titty Meat]

Superbowl.

I still have my Nebraska shit when we beat miami

[Iconic]

If we make it to the SB and lose I'm honestly going to be so sad.

[TinyEvel]

I will not likely buy any because usually all those championship apparel are ugly as hell. Over-designed, busy, cheap quality.

Give me something iconic and cool and I'll buy it.

[Nzoner]

Super Bowl champs or nothing.

[HemiEd]

I have purchased "Champions gear" every year, back to 95, except last year.

Previously I just bought Chiefs sweatshirts and hats. Last year I said after the "forward progress" call that I am not spending another dime on it and it has been hard to break the habit as I have a nice collection.

I get their emails daily though and cheerfully delete them.

[dannybcaitlyn]

Super Bowl Champs and hell I might be happy enough to pick up the sports illustrated subscription with us being champs, where they throw in the goodies and video of our road to the bowl!!

[Mile High Mania]

I've never bought the champions stuff... divisional or anything. I want whatever I wear to just be team specific. I see a lot of guys running around Dallas with their mid 90s SB champs gear and it's funny now in 2018/19. My dad bought me a hat from the 90s SBs, have never worn it.

[notorious]

I will wear my Chiefs hat or polo in Vegas the days leading up to the SB if they are in it.

That’s as far as I’ll go now days. In my younger days it would have been different.

I wish there was a black market for the championship gear that gets printed but never used for the teams that lose in the World Series, Super Bowl, etc. I'd love to get my hands on a 2014 Royals shirt like that.

Yeah, I don't wear gear much ... I have a couple of shirts, hats and a quarter zip sweatshirt thing, but that's about it. I buy the older logo stuff.

[notorious]

It’s hard for me to pound my chest over other mens’ success. If my kids give me a shirt I will wear it to make them happy but that’s about as far as I can take it.

I know, I’m a party pooper.

[mr. tegu]

I bought quite a bit for the Royals in 2014 and even more in 2015. On shirts I bought standard playoff shirt and AL champions in 2014, division, AL, and WS in 2015. Plus extras like the pennants and magazines and newspapers to frame.

I never buy AFC West champs stuff partly due to it’s happened a lot but also it’s not as big of an accomplishment. So I’ll probably buy an AFC champion shirt and tons of Super Bowl stuff beyond shirts to fill the basement walls.

[Spott]

Have your own made.

By the Eastern European guys in the mall?

[Frazod]

Conference Championship or bust. Not buying another goddamn division champ shirt.

[Rivaldo]

I'm on the practice squad.

Were you signed for a day? One of those Make-A-Wish stories that tug at the heartstrings? Handed the ball, and the players part like the Red Sea :clap:

[notorious]

By the Eastern European guys in the mall?

I’m more interested in Eastern European girls....

[ptlyon]

May buy a SB Xmas ornament, but nothing else

[Rivaldo]

I'll see you soon.

heeyeah 1 for bad, 2 for good

Bet 2 for good

heyeah

[Mama Hip Rockets]

I'm going to go broke buying Superbowl merch if we win

Same. In 2015, I was saving up money for game 6 of the World Series. The Royals ended up winning game 5 in New York, so I had hundreds of unused dollars sitting around. Now I have like 12 WS Champs shirts.

[SAUTO]

Talk about what could have been :(

[Reerun_KC]

Curse of Marty

[Hammock Parties]

i buy divsion champion gear every year so i can have something to wipe my ass with when i run out of smith jerseys

[bigjosh]

I wont buy anything less than super bowl. Its like paying for something celebrating being 6th best.

[Rivaldo]

Now I must tell you that Doctor Bruner is a very respected professional. Rain Man's case has been meticulously documented over the years, and of course Walbrook is one of the finest institutions we have in this country.

My brother Rain Man came further with me in a week at the Chiefs' practice facility than he did with you in twenty years!

[Frazod]

If this team manages to win the conference with Bob fucking Sutton's defense, that will be a major accomplishment. That hasn't happened since 1970, either.

Especially considering whose name is on the trophy.

[Spott]

I’m more interested in Eastern European girls....

Well, they usually work at the cosmetics and perfume kiosks in the mall. The guys usually own kiosks where they print clothing. Needless to say I’ve been suckered in to buying lotions and fragrances on a few occasions.

[Molitoth]

I wanted a Mahomes sherzy during Training camp before it was cool to have one, but now everyone is the country is going to have one.

That said, I don't support the NFL with overpriced merchandise. I don't have a single piece of merch.

[kc rush]

Super Bowl Champs and hell I might be happy enough to pick up the sports illustrated subscription with us being champs, where they throw in the goodies and video of our road to the bowl!!

Only if they throw in that sweet football phone they used to offer.

[JakeF]

Super Bowl at this point.
yip!

[wazu]

With only four teams in a division, 25% of teams win their division every year. The fact that they even print division champ gear always seems bizarre. I guess they have enough buyers to make it worth it, though.

[gblowfish]

I've got enough AFC West champs stuff to last me awhile. I'd like something a bit more graduated...

[Hammock Parties]

afc west gear is like the participation trophies they hand out for youth soccer

[Reerun_KC]

I've got enough AFC West champs stuff to last me awhile. I'd like something a bit more graduated...

I had a 1995 afcw championship shirt. I was the ultimate true homer back then.

[big nasty kcnut]

if we win the super bowl i don't care how but i'll buy enough superbowl gear to last me forever!

[Eleazar]

Super Bowl Champions I would buy stuff. Otherwise, it just reminds you that they lost the next game.

[KChiefs1]

Do you buy division champion gear?

Would you buy conference champion gear?

Super Bowl Champion gear or bust?

Would you, could you with a fox?



I used to buy division champion gear(still wear my 2003 t-shirt) but decided I won’t buy anymore until they get to the Super Bowl. I’ll probably wait until after the Super Bowl this year before deciding. I’ve already bought a few Mahomes gear.

[KChiefs1]

Super Bowl champs is where you go all out. I did buy a couple Royals "American League champs" things in 14 but winning a pennant is a bigger deal in baseball just because of the history of it. I've never bought a division champions anything.


I bought several 2014 AL Champion shirts but never wear them because I wear the 2015 World Champions ones.

[Coach]

Got the '14 and '15 WS Royals caps.

[KChiefs1]

I had a 1995 afcw championship shirt. I was the ultimate true homer back then.


I have t-shirts from 93, 95 & 97 too.

[KChiefs1]

I have a couple of old 1985 World Champions shirts in a box somewhere.

[Rasputin]

I don’t support the NFL
So I don’t buy their shit

Yet has avatar what looks like a NFL jersey. How ironic & or hypocrisy?

[Rasputin]

Im sure Africa appreciates getting playoff losers merchandise.

[DJ's left nut]

Years of treating the Super Bowl as an excuse to throw a party has me viewing the SB as more of an end of season exhibition game. I think it's the week off and general carnival atmosphere as well.

So for me winning the Conference is enormous and I'd get myself a conference championship hoodie or something.

[carcosa]

I will not likely buy any because usually all those championship apparel are ugly as hell. Over-designed, busy, cheap quality.

Give me something iconic and cool and I'll buy it.

When the Royals won the pennant in 14 I was able to find an alternate shirt with a cool minimalist design... much better than the main WS shirt in 15 (which I still bought anyway)

[crayzkirk]

If they have them at Costco (after the SuperBowl victory), I will buy a couple.

[arrowheadnation]

I've got replica rings of the Chiefs SB and Royals two WS, so I will definitely add another Chiefs SB ring if/when they win it all.

[Fat Elvis]

I just don't get the whole championship gear thing. If the Chiefs win a SuperBowl do you really think you or anyone whose opinion you care about will forget it, or do you *really* need a cheesy t-shirt/jersey/jacket/ring/whatever to remember it? Tiny E is right, most championship gear is low-quality/overproduced crap that makes it look like you really don't know how to dress yourself.

[ChiefBlueCFC]

I've never bought the champions stuff... divisional or anything. I want whatever I wear to just be team specific. I see a lot of guys running around Dallas with their mid 90s SB champs gear and it's funny now in 2018/19. My dad bought me a hat from the 90s SBs, have never worn it.

Really, wearing it for a few years after the event happened, but at some point the gear has to go away and be house work or just lounging around the house kind of shirt.

[O.city]

Afc champ is the only one I’ll buy.........

As I slide off my 2017 afc west champ shirt

[DJ's left nut]

Super Bowl only.

Honestly, I only buy the Hyvee/street vendor stuff that has names and player illustrations on it. No one will care about just a basic "2018 such and such Champions" shirt in 20 years, but if there's a list of player names on the back like concert city/dates and maybe like a Mahomes/Kelce/Tyreek illustration on it, that's a keeper.

I care about mine and they're 20 years old. :P

[cooper barrett]

My buddy just landed the contract for 200,000 "Colt's AFC Champions" tee shirts and jerseys.

I told him that that contract would only pay design fees and act as a charitable donation to 3rd world countries.

We got this!!!!!

[Pointer19]

https://viralstyle.com/397979/kansas-ccskyline-champion#sid=back&pid=1&cid=240

A couple people posted that they’d want something if it was better than the standard “AFCW Champs” t-shirt. This came across my Facebook feed today. The back has players’ names spelling out KANSAS CITY. Thought some may be interested.

[digger]

2019 AFCW back to back to back to back gear? yes or no? wait till the playoffs?

[Mama Hip Rockets]

2019 AFCW back to back to back to back gear? yes or no? wait till the playoffs?

Still waiting for SB champs.

[SuperBowl4]

USA - BACK 2 BACK WORLD WAR CHAMPS!

[comochiefsfan]

Probably will get some AFC champs merch if we win that.

Will go broke buying super bowl stuff if we win it all.

[eDave]

Superbowl win. Maybe.

[DaFace]

Not sure I ever would. I see Broncos fans wearing Super Bowl Championship gear all the time, and it just seems sad and like they're living in the past.

[KChiefs1]

I put my 2014-2015 Royals gear away.
