Despite the fact that it probably stank of beer, scotch, onions and god knows what else, I traveled back to Ontario proudly wearing my shirt - two guys at Heathrow security congratulated me, one going out of his way to shake my hand.
Then on the flight itself, an elderly gentleman came up to me and said 'you must be pleased.='; he was Villa fan off to see his poorly sister in Toronto, and as he turned to go back to his seat he ended off with 'my nephew will be thrilled, he's a huge Town fan *pause* oh and he sponsors you lot...'

They even had a section of Seahenge on display which was very cool (I'm one of those who begrudgingly admits that Boudicca was the last decent thing to come out of Norfolk, ok maybe Coleman's mustard too).
As for the requisite exhibition shop, I had to laugh at the travel pillow (bravo designer):
