Now this is the kind of team-up The Blot can really get behind! Marvel Comics and the National Basketball Association are collaborating on an exclusive collection of co-branded merchandise featuring NBA team logos alongside some of the Marvel Universe’s most popular super heroes. This new clothing line will include apparel from C-Life and headwear from New Era.
After launching at the 2011 NBA All Star Game on February 20th, the Marvel x NBA Collection can now be found in arenas and sporting goods stores across North America! The Blot hasn’t seen any of these new t-shirts or hats in person yet, but I’ll definitely look for them the next time I’m at the Toyota Center here in Houston to see the Rockets play. As a Lakers fan, I’m hoping they release some really cool team exclusive hats and apparel. But from the pictures seen here, it looks like a lot of the designs are reused and are just altered to reflect the local team’s colors and logo.
Marvel x NBA T-shirts retail for $24 ($20 for youth sizes), while Marvel x NBA New Era fitted hats retail for $35. See more designs at the NBA online store here.
