The Detroit Lions won the NFC North in 2016 if a shirt being sold at a Michigan T.J. Maxx is to be believed.

Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press published a piece which explained that the location in Chesterfield Township had Lions division title shirts on sale. The actual title, of course was claimed by the Green Bay Packers.

Birkett reached out to T.J. Maxx and got their take on the situation, which was reported to be a mistake. Here's their take on what happened from his piece.

A T.J. Maxx spokesperson said by email the shirts, which were on sale for $4.99, found their way onto store shelves by mistake and the store will refund money to any customers who may have purchased the item. About a half dozen of the T-shirts were available at the Chesterfield Township location over the weekend, on a wall with apparel for other local sports teams. Three other T.J. Maxx stores did not have the shirt in stock. Companies licensed by the NFL to produce official merchandise sometimes pre-print T-shirts, hats and other memorabilia to commemorate significant accomplishments, but stock of erroneous shirts and other items are usually destroyed or donated and not available for sale domestically.

Here's a look at the shirt courtesy of Birkett's share of the story on Twitter.

As everyone knows, Lions fans have not celebrated a division title since 1993. Obviously, folks are hungry to do so, even if the swag they're wearing is factually incorrect.
