As far as the T-shirts go, I guess they're made in honduras, yes, but I
understand the printing on the shirts was done by several New England
companies, one up in New Hampsire, and another one down somwere in Rhode
Island.

Well it figures that Channel 4 would put up the WBCN title, as of course
they are owned by the same company.
Ch 5 of course didn't want to mentinon a competitor.

While the t-shirts might be made in Honduras, I understand that two New
England based firms (one in NH, and another in RI) actually do the printing
on the Patriots' Super Bowl Champion T- and Sweat shirts, so I guess you
could say it is partly local with raw materials from Honduras...lol.
BTW did not look at TV today, but our friends at WBZ-AM 1030 did a really
good job in covering the parade today.
