A look at the shirts for the New England Patriots after winning Super Bowl 51.

Super Bowl 51 would become an epic battle between the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons. It turned into a tale of two games, as the Falcons dominated the first half and the Patriots took over the second half. There would be an overtime period as well, which saw New England cruise down the field to score and win Super Bowl 51, 34-28.

After a team wins any kind of professional sports championship, gear gets created for them in celebration for fans to buy. This includes hats, sweatshirts, jackets, and the one that everyone may look forward to the most, the t-shirts. The design for the Patriots can be seen below:

It’s a piece of merchandise that anyone a fan of the Patriots will go to buy. This is the fifth time they’ve won the Super Bowl since 2002, so the shirts have stacked up for New England over the past 15 years.

This Super Bowl win comes after the DeflateGate controversy that extended into the 2016 season. It started with Tom Brady being suspended for the first four games of the year, which came about 18 months after the saga started. He then returned and torched the league, sending the Patriots into the playoffs. They then defeated the Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans to make it to Super Bowl 51, overcoming the Falcons and winning.
