But as it stands, those guys take an innitial 50% loss on the first batch of merch, just so they have it ready to sell the second the game ends. EVERY year.

Well, they don't really take a loss. The expense of both uniforms are baked into the price of the winning team. it's just part of the overhead. Most the shirts get sent and sold to places that probably only vaguely know who 'the patriots" are.

They also recoup those "losses" as tax breaks because of donations and whatever other loopholes they can find.
