Officially licensed sports fidget spinners introduced, already sold out
By Nick Tylwalk
Sports team fidget spinners are now officially a thing thanks to SpinnersOnly.
Some products are so obvious it’s really only a matter of time before someone makes them. To wit: since fidget spinners are all the rage right now, and they can really be decorated in any fashion, why not put official sports team logos on them?
Why not, indeed, which is why SpinnersOnly has done exactly that. The company announced this week that it had introduced MLB, NBA, NFL, NHL and NCAA fidget spinners. Pretty cool, right?
Except they apparently proved so popular that they are already sold out. SpinnersOnly opened up pre-orders for fidget spinners for every MLB and NFL team and select teams in other sports, and according to the company’s website, the first batch of sports spinners is completely sold out. You can enter your email address on the site to be notified of when more become available, which is likely a good idea considering how quickly the initial wave seems to have gone.
Headquartered in Milwaukee, SpinnersOnly is selling the sports spinners for $9.99 apiece, which seems quite fair when licensing is taken into account. The company also spells plain fidget spinners in six different colors for $4.99 each and $2.99 shipping.
But normal spinners can be found in any number of places, and it’s the sports connection — again, an idea you kind of figured someone would latch onto — that could definitely be the SpinnersOnly calling card.
“When we learned of the fidget spinner craze and heard about people collecting them, we knew that sports-related fidget spinners would be extremely popular,” Phil Sklar, co-founder of SpinnersOnly, said in a press release “We developed SpinnersOnly to bring the largest selection of sports-related fidget spinners to people across the country.”
Next: Wait, what exactly is a fidget spinner?
FanSided has reached out to SpinnersOnly for a potential update on when more sports spinners might be available for pre-order, though the company already told the New York Post that production problems could be an issue because of the high level of demand.
Until then, the best thing to do is sign up for email updates and be ready to order when you get the chance, because sports fidget spinners do indeed seem like the right product at the right time.
