What do Big Boi, Fall Out Boy, New Kids on the Block, Jeremih, DJ Khaled, and the Backstreet Boys have in common? Well, besides the fact they're all collaborating with Teespring 100% absolutely nothing. But who cares? The e-tailer has brought 30 celebs together to make their own T-shirt dedicated to their favorite NBA team.
The real gem of the bunch is DJ Khaled who merges his viral phrase with his undying love for the Miami Heat for one winning T-shirt that features a rework of the Miami Heat logo and reads, "Key to Success."
The others are more or less straightforward, taking the logo of the NBA team and incorporating the band or artist involved. (And by straightforward we mean this is the weirdest collaboration ever.) The Backstreet Boys take on an Orlando Magic tee features the team logo with the letters BSB below. New Kids on the Block's creation features the Celtics' shamrock logo surrounded by the initials NKOTB.
Really, if you're looking for a way to kill two birds with one stone, in the case showing your love for a band/single artist at the same time, we can't think of a better way than buying one of these T-shirts. Some of these crossovers work well: There's definitely a ton of Big Boi fans who are also Atlanta Hawks fans. On the other hand, how many Spurs fans ride hard for Austin Mahone?
The limited-edition T-shirts are available for 10 days only on Teespring now. Act fast!
