This reminds me of what happens with super bowl jerseys. They can't manufacturer them after the fact, so they make both and ship the loser's winner's jerseys of to an alternative reality in Africa.

Why can't they get proper information in advance? What's their problem, just schedule a staff meeting with representatives of both team and have them state clear and unambiguous requirements and expected results. All industries work like this and everyone is happy.

  They sell winner's jerseys to the fans, they make them for both teams because the outcome of the game decides which jersey is reflective of reality.

    I'm pretty sure they were joking ;)

      I wasn't sure in this case; I figured I'd clarify in case my use of "super bowl jerseys" rather than "super bowl winner's jerseys" left too much room for confusion. Also, it was about 2 in the morning when I left the comment, and my brain's a little melty.

  The African jerseys are just a hoax to make it seem like they don’t know the outcome in advance.

  More honest tech firms print two sets of T-shirts for their employees. One says “shiny software 3.0 [code name here]” with a pretty logo. The other says “shiny software 3.0 [code name here]”, but the art is a bunch of insects representing the bug-ridden mess on launch day. And then they give out the appropriate shirts on launch day and donate the others to some vaguely appropriate charity.

    For some time I had a corpo T-shirt with a logo and branding of a failed product which didn't even make it to the customers and had been shut down. I made a point of wearing it to the office on a days with bigger meetings, for extra confusion :) .

I've always wanted to buy some of the loser jerseys and hats but can't find any for sale.

  Sounds like you just need to go to Africa to buy one

    Ironically, to buy them state-side you'd probably have to pay several times what the legitimate jersey costs.
