What many people outside of the sports world don't realize is that collecting these items gives fans a heightened sense of connection to the team because they feel like they are a part of the team and their success based on the support they provide. If you ask anyone involved, it's a win-win as the team makes more money and gains support while the fan gets a cool piece of gear and feels closer to the team.

Every team has their special colorways, select merchandise items, and other compelling factors to draw fans in. Sometimes, those initiatives are league wide and every team gets the same product that looks slightly different because it is tailored to that team's identity.
