I thought they were donated to third-world countries.

I stand corrected, the NFL donates the shirts for the wrong teams to an organization called World Vision which distributes them overseas to poor regions.
Defective shirts with accurate* info are sold at discounts and or donated to local charities and shelters.
* _Often when a team moves, ie LA Rams become the St Louis Rams, the legacy shirts, hats etc.. are also similarly distributed.
BTW, for the last few Super Bowls, Reebok licenses the pregame production of exactly 288 hats and 288 shirts for each team, so we're not really talking about great numbers of shirts with the wrong winner.
