What is the most unusual NFL branded item I can buy?
April 1, 2016 7:09 PM Subscribe
What is the straight up weirdest double-take inducing NFL branded product that you have seen? I'm way beyond t-shirts, coozies, and grilling equipment. I'm talking things like an adult onesie. But that's the bar I have to meet. Also of interest: weird items for sale that are branded with comic book stuff.
Best answer: NFL will seeming license just about anything. From rain gauges to garden gnomes to flatware
Zombie figurine is particularly strange.

Best answer: Like an NFL toaster that'll burn your favorite team's logo into your bread? Or how about an Oakland Raiders Tiffany table lamp? Or maybe a Raiders elf-on-the-shelf?

Best answer: A few years ago, Errol Morris did a terrific short film (8 mins) about sports fans who "take their fanatacisim with them to the afterlife." In it, you will find NFL-branded coffins and tombstones, among other things.

They are also called Matryoshka dolls if you want to search

Best answer: The Dallas Cowboys did a bunch of merch with contemporary artist Jenny Holzer. (I have just linked my favorite one)

I don't know if they still carry them, but 2-3 years ago I saw some Redskins fake eyelashes for sale, in an official 'Skins pop-up store.

Hollyholly, you can still buy a few of the Holzer items although they're the less interesting ones. (I have "expiring for love" and it's a nice shirt.)
