You've seem something you've liked - when shopping online - only for the product to not match your initial expectation once it has arrived at your door.
That happened to me today.
I saw the following on the NFL Shop's Cyber Monday sale earlier week:
It's a Peyton Manning long sleeve t-shirt representing the time he spent as quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts.
I will die on any hill defending the opinion that Peyton Manning is the greatest of all time. Therefore, it should come as no surprise to you that I wanted this t-shirt as soon as I saw it in the sale.
It arrived in today's post. I opened the packaging only to find there was something on the shirt that is clearly not on the image from the NFL Shop's website.
On the left-side of the shirt is a patch bearing the logo of Super Bowl XLI. The rainy Miami night when Peyton Manning led the Colts to a 29-17 victory over the Chicago Bears to close the 2006 NFL season.
Ahh.. the good old days.
The patch was not on the shirt in the image, but - by jove - for the first time I can recall, this is a positive example of receiving something that doesn't appear as it did at the point of sale.
Oh yeah - and there's another thing.
On the rare occasions when I've bought long sleeved NFL t-shirts in the past, I've found them to be somewhat thin. This Colts one I have right here is thicker than I expected. That's another bonus on top.
It should go without saying that I'm more than happy with this purchase.
I hope to wear it on February 8th when the Colts shall once again raise the Vince Lombardi Trophy albeit in the warmer climes of California.
The operative: I hope.
