I was wondering if someone could help me out here. I checked nfl.com a day or two after the Super Bowl, and again about a week after... and I saw a Super Bowl 43 Terrible Towel with the final score printed on it selling for something like $9. I can't seem to find it anymore, and I've looked at the entire shop.
Does anyone else have better luck than me, or another site that may sell it? Thanks.

The official Steelers site has them, for $7.95 (which is what they should be. I believe I saw the one with the score on the NFL site for $16 or more last week).

There was an interesting article in the New York Times recently about the Terrible Towel - (The Terrible Towel’s Wonderful Legacy - NYTimes.com (http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/30/sports/football/30towel.html).)
Basically the guy who came up with the "official" version, Myron Cope, left the rights to it to a school for the disabled, and they have made a few million from it, which lets them help a lot more people.

Cope's youngest son is autistic, and attended the school (Allegheny Valley School) that received the proceeds.
