I'm a Sucker for Advertising and Sports Branding

In making the move from New Jersey to New York, I was leaving behind some pretty cool state-only-advantages. While I will truly miss not having to get out of my car while someone pumps cheaper gas for me, the awesomeness that is taylor ham, and the short ride to Giants Stadium tailgating, I have to give credit to NY for one thing: The ability to buy beer pretty much anywhere you can buy *anything*. Supermarkets, gas stations (hmm, that must be why it's 50 cents more per gallon here), libraries, and even hospitals. I'm not sure how your state runs things, but it's just that I've been so used to things in the dirty Jerz.
- I absolutely HATE regular Budweiser beer (Bud Heavy, Bud Diesel, whatever nickname you might have for it).
- They also had Bud Lite, but with Mets branding on it. I don't mind Bud Lite. Maybe I was afraid that Yadier Molina would come into my house while I was drinking it, and I would immediately start choking.
- Who did I think I was buying a tall Diesel? Did I think I was attending a NASCAR race this week, or that I was going to feel the need to drink in my underwear on the front lawn?
Who knows, maybe I was just being superstitious and trying to give the Yanks some luck against the Red Sox tonight. Let's see how long it sits in my fridge.
So I ask you the Armchair community: What is the stupidest thing you purchased with your favorite team emblazoned on it?
update: Yanks 1-0 with the Tall Diesel!
