There is nothing fans love more than free shit. It doesn’t seem to matter how crappy the quality is—if it’s free people want it. Seriously, how many times have you seen people fight over an XL shirt that some male cheerleader threw 10 yards? This is why I think the Milwaukee Bucks are potentially playing with fire.
Starting Friday night, the Bucks will be shooting cold-weather gear made by the brand Weatherproof (the team’s new corporate partner) out of their ridiculous T-Shirt gatling gun:
The highlight of the deal involves a rebranding of the Bucks’ famous triple-barrel T-shirt gatling gun, the only one of its kind in the NBA, which is capable of sending 120 shirts into the crowd in a matter of seconds. While fans around the league are accustomed to flying T-shirts, Bucks fans will now see team-branded apparel from Weatherproof’s cold-weather line 32° Heat flying their way, including thermal base-layer shirts, down vests, and even down jackets with a retail value of over $100.
120 shirts all over the stadium in seconds? And now the gear they are giving out actually holds value? It wouldn’t surprise me if people died over this considering the “Arctic Assault” going down in most of the country.
And in case you were wondering, the gatling gun is very real:
