Bello.
If you ever thought to yourself “I like this Team USA Olympic merch, but it doesn’t have enough MINIONS in it” then today is your lucky day. An official line of branded, marketed, real-ass Olympic gear covered in Minions is going on sale ahead of the games in Paris, and finally it’s your chance to get these yellow scamps locked into a life of indentured servitude on a Team USA hoodie.
The world will quake in its boots when Kevin, Bob and Stuart show their faces on the Champs-Élysées this summer. This isn’t some off-brand run by an independent studio either, as the Minions are official brand ambassadors of Team USA according to a press release sent to SB Nation.
“The Minions x Team USA collection brings together two iconic global brands in celebration of the Olympic and Paralympic Games in Paris,” said Vince Klaseus, President, Universal Products & Experiences. “The Minions bring joy to fans of all ages and their influence on pop culture and fashion is undeniable, making them the perfect brand ambassadors for fans to gear up with and cheer for Team USA.”
The Team USA x Minions gear is on sale online via the official team shop, and will be sold at the NBC Store at Rockefeller Center in New York City. The time of the Minions is only just beginning.
