NIKE’s Ted Lasso Gear Misses the Point

Yeah, this is totally not ‘running’ or ‘mountain’ related by ‘Ted Lasso’ is a pretty great show on Apple TV+ and we occasionally talk here about NIKE, so it’s worth mentioning (I guess) that NIKE just dropped some “official” AFC Richmond gear.

Now, AFC is a fake football club but the shirts are ‘real jerseys’. So far so good, but what’s hilarious is that the makers of this Apple TV show that’s all about empathy and inclusion, decide to green light merch that’s only available in MENS SIZING.

If this would be some flash-in-the-pan promo shit I wouldn’t care to post about it, but there’s a rumor that Apple might be selling the gear in their online store and in the physical stores, which would be a first for them and sort of a big deal. And, the partnership is with NIKE and not some typical merch crap that Warner Brothers’s selling (Ted Lasso bobblehead anyone?).

Good thing it’s Pride month and not Women’s History month anymore… I guess?
