A company based in Dorset is facing a ‘major loss’ after purchasing 18,000 T-shirts sporting the message: “England, World Cup winners 2022”.
Mr Baxter, managing director of Poole-based Wholesale Clearance UK, had intended to sell the shirts for £29.99 each, but he has now put them on sale at £9.99 per item. The shirts carry the message: “England, World Cup winners 2022. [Football is] finally home.”
“I’m absolutely gutted that England has been knocked out of the World Cup,” Mr Baxter said in a press release.
“I have been really impressed with England’s performance in Qatar and was sure they would win this year’s tournament. When approached by a supplier to sell the shirts, I simply couldn’t say, ‘No.’
“But now I’ve been left with 18,000 shirts that say they’ve won, and I’m not sure what to do.
“I’d like to appeal to England fans to purchase one of the shirts, to keep it as a piece of history and a reminder of how well our team played throughout the tournament.
“While they haven’t won, they are still winners in my eyes.”

Too bad ironic hipster culture seemingly has died, or else these shirts would be perfect.

I might still order several for me and my English friends.

That shirt looks like something you'd buy from a street vendor on the way out of the stadium

Probably should have waited until at least they made it past the defending champions.

He should just print an X over the 2 and a 6 next to it.
