For Patriots fans, it was a painful reminder of their team's defeat by the Eagles in this year's Super Bowl.

To make matters worse -- Dunkin' Donuts was founded in Massachusetts.

During football season, Dunkin' Donuts uses cups featuring the logos of teams in their hometowns, but it appears there was a mixup in this case.

The company addressed the controversy in a statement, saying it is working to stock stores with the correct cups.
