Commemorative T-shirts and hats don't just print themselves, and they have to be ready as soon as a title-clinching game is over.

An Ohio State athletics staffer took full advantage of that opportunity Tuesday, tweeting photos of gear commemorating Michigan as the 2016 Big Ten East Division champion that was left behind in the visiting locker room at Ohio Stadium after the Wolverines' double-overtime loss to the Buckeyes.
"That team up north forgot their shirts and hats in the locker room on Saturday," Ryan Speer wrote before locking his Twitter account after the pictures went viral.
