While the NBA Store is the go-to place if one wants a favorite player’s jersey or an official team t-shirt, it also houses some products that one wouldn’t necessarily associate with the NBA. And while sticking a team logo on something is a great way to make an item immediately desirable to fans everywhere, let’s just say that it’s a bit of a wonder that some of these items wound up for sale in team stores. From NBA thongs to stuffed monkeys, here are some of the oddest merchandise that you can purchase directly from your favorite pro basketball teams.
Chicago Bulls Red Bliss Thong – $18.95
These thongs exist. I repeat. These thongs exist. The best part is the product description which tries its best to make these things sound as ordinary as possible: “Get in the game this season with this Chicago Bulls Bliss thong! Give a subtle shout out to your Chicago Bulls anywhere and anytime when you wear this adorable thong!” Ah yes. “Subtle.”
