After an astonishing run that culminated in the Toronto Raptors' first NBA Championship, Kawhi Leonard has solidified himself as one of the biggest stars in the NBA, if not all of professional sports. But it's after demonstrating some charitable good will in his new (old) home of Los Angeles that he's solidified himself as one…

You'd think that a band's goal would be to make as many T-shirts as humanly possible in the hope that more fans become walking advertisements. But, British indie rockers the 1975 are trading in maximalist marketing for environmental conservation, even if it's at the expense of their own merchandising efforts. The band, which recently recorded…

Do you remember the mean kids in school who started a trend, and then—once everyone else was on the bandwagon—abandoned it immediately and made fun of everyone else still doing it, as if they hadn't been into it in the first place? That's kind of what McDonald's is doing right now, and the trend is…

This past week, we had the fun opportunity of attending the Something Inked show in Las Vegas, where promotional products suppliers met with end-buyers from around multiple exciting promotional markets, such as sports, music, entertainment and more.

The metalcore act is hoping that a T-shirt design will help remind music fans that, especially in the age of streaming, buying…

In something of a role reversal for Mitch McConnell, whose own campaign made a pretty penny on "Cocaine Mitch" gear earlier this year, the Kentucky Democratic Party is cashing in big time on "Moscow Mitch" merchandise. The Kentucky Dems started up a "Moscow Mitch" web store, offering T-shirts, a brass Moscow Mule mug, a shot glass, stickers, buttons and a Cossack hat...

It's the most wonderful time of the year, folks. At least it is for shark fans. Selachophobes are probably wise to stay away from the Discovery Channel for the next few days. That's right. It's Shark Week. And to celebrate the most celebrated educational television event of the year, Discovery Channel teamed up with an…

Did you hear about the mysterious case of a perfectly preserved In-N-Out burger that suddenly appeared on the streets of Queens? This isn't the set-up of a bad joke. It really was a puzzling event that had the internet lit up with conspiracy theories ranging from art instillations, viral marketing and a few East Coast…

The most sought-after sponsorship in English soccer (read: "football") might just be the company that is removing its logo from all apparel. For the uninformed, European soccer clubs have at least one shirt sponsor that takes up prime real estate on the front of their jerseys. Some teams in less lucrative leagues look like NASCAR…
