(WTOL) - Three former northwest Ohio football players are heading to the Super Bowl. Also, a portion of the championship t-shirts will be printed in Toledo if the Steelers win.
Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger is a Findlay native. Wide receiver Nate Washington is a Scott High School grad. Arizona defensive lineman Bryan Robinson is a Woodward alum. In fact, the principals of Woodword and Scott have a friendly wager on the game. The principal whose star alum is on the losing team has to wear the opposing high school's jersey come Monday morning.
One Toledo company will be watching the Super Bowl closely Sunday night because the outcome could make them money.
Before kick-off... Before the coin toss... Even before the pre-game show, The Image Group is betting it all on the Steelers. This week, they're doing a test run of t-shirts declaring Pittsburgh the winner.
They're one of several companies around the country to win a contract to print thousands of t-shirts after the big game. But only if the Steelers win.
The Steelers take on the Arizona Cardinals February 1 at 6 p.m. in Tampa. According to Las Vegas Sports Consultants, the Pittsburgh Steelers are favored by 6 1/2 points in most sports books to win.
