Overview

  • The NFL produces championship merchandise for both Super Bowl teams in advance, but only the winning team's gear is sold in the U.S.
  • Since 2015, the nonprofit Good360 has partnered with the NFL to collect and donate unsellable merchandise from the losing team to vetted international charities.
  • This year's losing team merchandise will be sent to communities in Ukraine, Mongolia, Georgia, Estonia, and Latvia.
  • Strict protocols ensure the gear does not resurface for resale, protecting the NFL's brand and the dignity of the donations.
  • Good360 distributes approximately 2,000 items per Super Bowl, including apparel and headwear, to communities lacking access to essential clothing.
