It is very common to see people here wearing t-shirts or sweatshirts from bars and restaurants in the States. Now how would a Dominican that has never stepped foot out of his barrio, never mention his town, province or the island itself, wind up wearing a Big Jumbo Jim's Texas BBQ t-shirt? The best is the losing sports teams t-shirts. For example, this year in the States the baseball World Series went to a Game 7 between the Cleveland Indians and the Chicago Cubs (for those that don't follow the States or baseball for that matter). Yes, the Cubs won, but there are thousands of World Series Champion Cleveland Indian t-shirts and caps that were made up just in case the Indians had won. This happens with every sporting event. These items don't get thrown in the trash bin, they get donated to charity, and inevitably wind up on the back of somebody down here in DR who bought it for 50-100 pesos at a pulga. Now, if they have really bright, popular colors, those can go for 200-300 pesos. Never mind that nobody knows what the shirt says, such as Big Jumbo Jim's Texas BBQ, but wow those colors are sharp with a new pair of Jordans.
