The Super Bowl hits close to home in Connecticut this year, and not just because the Patriots are playing.
Hartford-based company GimaSport, which specializes in embroidery and screenprinting, has been commissioned by the NFL to make officially licensed Super Bowl gear.
The business posted photos on its Facebook page of freshly minted Patriots apparel just hours after New England secured the AFC title and a ticket to the big game.
Now, with less than two weeks until the Pats face the Seahawks, GimaSport is churning out winter hats emblazoned with the Super Bowl logo and New England mascot.
The business got its start in 1992 and remains family owned more than 20 years later.
Official Super Bowl merchandise is available through the NFL.
