Fan Apparel
It’s hard to take Kanye West’s presidential run as seriously as he seems to. He’s not even on the ballot in some states, and this always seemed like more of a branding opportunity than an actual attempt to land in the Oval Office. But, of course, Kanye still dropped official campaign merchandise. And, on brand for Kanye, it’s much more streetwear drop than traditional campaign merch...
To the surprise of absolutely no one, Disney is capitalizing on hosting the NBA this season by inserting Disney-branded apparel into "NBA 2K21." It seems like gratuitous branding at first, but it’s just attention to detail, since this year’s NBA season was unlike any other. Disney knows a thing or two about attention to detail, especially when it comes to video game merchandise tie-ins...
It's the spookiest time of year, but you know what isn’t scary? Promotional products. We can’t think of a single nightmare we’ve had about them. If you’re a distributor, you’ve probably had a few involving missed shipments or something like that. Or maybe you’ve even had a dream about a bobblehead that came to life. Actually, that’s not a bad movie idea. Anyway, here's the Fave 5...
I know we said McDonald's wants you to wear your "birthday suit," but we have to remind you (as your attorneys) not to show up to McDonald’s in the nude. This is just a clever turn of phrase on McDonald’s behalf. The fast food restaurant released a loungewear set to celebrate the the McFlurry's 25th anniversary from home, and it sold out in an hour...
Kellogg's is making sure that you keep those feet fresh every day of the week with a special line of branded socks that corresponds with Special K flavors and a weekly planner. All of these items come in the “Blursday Go-Away Kit,” which “aims to help people avoid the feeling that each day is blurring into the next as they spend more time at home during the pandemic."...
All our Philly teams are bad, so let’s just say we’ve been avoiding all of our usual sports beats on social media. That's given us some extra time and incentive to hunt for fun promotional products across the web and in real life. This week’s haul is a good one, if we may say so ourselves. (We do say so. It’s our magazine.) Check 'em out!...
The New York Yankees are much more than a baseball team. The historic “NY” logo is as much an emblem for the city itself as it a representation of the team. The Yankees could not win a single game and New Yorkers will still rock Yankees gear. So, NYC Health knew that if it promised New Yorkers some Yankees gear, it'd convince them to come out and get COVID-19 tests...
Part of the appeal of Disney’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge theme park was the fact that all of the merchandise was exclusive. You couldn’t get it unless you ventured a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. (OK, it’s just in Florida, but still.) Yes, the merchandise isn’t the whole reason people go.…
LeBron James is encouraging people to vote in this year's election as part of his "More Than a Vote" organization. He's introduced a full line of merchandise, too, which directly benefits a social activism organization dating back to the 1960s.
Just as we do with musicians and movie stars, the world mourned through merchandise with the passing of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. With her high profile in pop culture, it was only natural that fans would flock to buy all things RBG. The Trump Campaign launched a shirt, too...
