reusable shopping bag. |
So, the Pittsburgh Penguins have won their third Stanley Cup championship, the first since 1992, in dramatic Game 7 fashion, 2-1 over the Detroit Red Wings. That game was an instant classic, and one that will slingshot interest for the casual fan into the 2009-’10 season, marking a Renaissance of sorts for the league after seeing interest increase all season long. But, the second the game was over, a new game started being played: the game selling Pittsburgh Penguins 2009 Stanley Cup Champions merchandise. As mentioned, the second the game was done, well before the Cup was hoisted by any of the Pens players, merchandise was being made available across the internet, with shop.nhl.com leading the way with 102 items up for grabs. The selection on NHL’s merchandising website runs from the standard (tee-shirts and hats) to diehard (a mini Stanley Cup Trophy). But, the one item that stands out, and shows a changing of the times as society becomes more Green conscious, is the Forever Collectibles Pittsburgh Penguins 2009 Stanley Cup Champions Reusable Bag - 6 Pack. At $19.99 you can, “Stay "green" while paying tribute to the champs when you use these Pittsburgh Penguins 2009 Stanley Cup® Champions reusable bags from Forever Collectibles™. Each 100% recyclable bag in the 6-pack is made of 100% non-woven polypropylene, making them an eco-friendly alternative to plastic shopping bags. The bags are emblazoned with the team graphics, and include carry handles.” Nothing says you are earth-friendly, and a diehard Pens fan like a reusable shopping bag. One thing seems certain; it will be a conversation piece in the checkout line at the grocer.
