   Apparently you haven't looked into the badges. :)   
      
   First, the badges won't be made unless the agency requests it.   
      
   That means, unless San Francisco Fire Department authorizes it, there   
   is _NO_ Super Bowl "San Francisco Fire Department" badge.   
      
   Second, even if they did authorize it, the agency has control over who   
   gets one.   
      
   Say Bob Smith, firefighter for SFFD, requests one at the web site, the   
   administrative contact for SFFD has to approve it.   
      
   Remember, this is a badge. Not a cheap souvenir that you or I can buy   
   online.
