Fans bleeding Big Blue poured lots of green into cash registers across New York yesterday, snapping up Super Bowl title gear.

Leo Distefano, 46, got to Modell’s in Times Square at 9 a.m. and still couldn’t score a $29.99 locker-room hat for today’s parade.

“I really wanted a hat, and they’re already out of them! I need one to wear to the parade,” worried Distefano, who ended up with a gray hoodie, a magnet and a locker-room T.

Pals Megan Rampersad and Elizabeth Yusuff, both 16, confessed that they cut school to buy Giants gear.

“We love Victor Cruz! We want to marry him!” Yusuff said of the team’s young breakout star.

The big seller was locker-room T-shirts — which retail for $21.99 — donned by Big Blue players immediately after Sunday’s win.

At the Times Square Modell’s, shipments of Giants goods came into the store every 20 minutes in an attempt to keep the shelves stocked.

The doors opened at 5 a.m., and the lines snaked around the store all day.

The most expensive item was a football with Super Bowl numerals for $119.99, followed by $84.99 jerseys.

Big Blue shoppers were exhausted but not too tired to shop.

“I almost lost my voice screaming last night!” said a smiling Nicole Plaskett, 22, who had her hands full of Giants paraphernalia.

“They’re everything to me! My family is the Giants family. We live for them. Whether they’re winning or losing, they’re our team.”
