Our Fave 5 Promotional Products of the Week: 'Friends' Spoofs and More

By The Promo Marketing Staff

We hope everyone had a relaxing Memorial Day weekend, and that despite current circumstances you still were able to grill up a few burgers and dogs (or whatever you like to put on the grill). The long weekend gave us even more time to check out some cool promotional items of all types, so we have some good stuff for you for this week’s edition of the Fave 5.

1. Stephen King Horror ‘Friends’ T-shirt

Through our quarantine period, we have gained a deeper appreciation, via YouTube videos, for cinematic adaptations of books by Stephen King. This T-shirt that uses the font from the TV show "Friends" and situates the Master of Horror at a table with Pennywise, Carrie White, Jack Torrance and Annie Wilkes made us smile (and gave us the chills).

2. ‘Stay Classy’ Virtual 5K Memorabilia

In the movie “Anchorman,” Ron Burgundy talks about the “new fad” called “jogging” (or perhaps it’s “yogging” with a soft J.) Regardless, participants who just run for an extended period of time as part of this virtual 5k can show their commitment to the crazy fad with this hilarious merchandise.

3. Pittsburgh Pirates Jolly Roger Logo T-shirt

The modified Jolly Roger logo tees are now available online with all net proceeds benefiting Pirates Charities’ local COVID-19 relief efforts.

We've heard this week is a huge one for determining the fate of the Major League Baseball season. Well, every day has been a huge occasion to provide relief during the pandemic, and the Pittsburgh Pirates are playing their part through this Jolly Roger T-shirt that alters the placement of the marauder's bandana. All proceeds will assist the franchise's quest to steal the limelight away from the coronavirus by helping local charities.

We always love new spins on MLB hats. Some are better than others, but in this case, it’s a classy and tasteful way to sport multiple team logos on a hat.

5. ‘A League of Their Own’ Merchandise
