I think this is very cool. Way to go Texas.
The $$$$ value is inflated, but the actual humanitarian value is greater. :thumbup:

Texas garb heads to earthquake victims

Associated Press

AUSTIN, Texas -- The University of Texas is sending nearly $300,000 worth of clothing to Haiti to help earthquake victims.

The 13,000 shirts and 1,000 caps were produced to celebrate a Longhorns' victory in the Jan. 7 national championship game against Alabama. Texas lost the game 37-21.

University Co-op spokeswoman Casey Ellis says the shirts retail for $20 each, while the cap price was $22. Instead, they will be sent to Haiti on Friday with the help of various charity groups.

The co-op is the main distributor of Longhorns' merchandise and apparel.

definitely good that they get some use out of that

i've heard rumors about those type of clothes - some say they are destroyed, but i've also heard that they are often sent overseas to poverty stricken areas
