Golden Nuggets: Getting Any 49ers NFC West Champs Gear?

Good morning, everybody. I'm back covering the links today. The 49ers had plenty of news yesterday coming off their division clinching win as well as Patrick Willis' hamstring strain. We'll have more on the hamstring strain later today, but in the meantime, I was curious if anybody had bought any NFC West champs gear yet? Do you prefer to only get Super Bowl merchandise, or do you get in on the early stuff as well?

Normally I'd likely wait for later stuff, but this is definitely not a normal year. Given that it is has been nine years since the team last earned a playoff berth, there is something to be said for purchasing a 2011 NFC West champs t-shirt. I'd love to find the playoffs t-shirt in rap video, but I have no idea where I'd find it. I'll keep an eye out, and if anybody else comes across it, let us know. On to the links.
