“Ambassador” Dennis Rodman Sold T-Shirts to Seemingly “Save the World” Years Before Signing Merchandising Deal with ID Supply Co

NBA legend Dennis Rodman made headlines around the world with his controversial trip to North Korea a few years ago. Following his return, he debuted his T-Shirt which was taken well by fans. However, a section of political commentators thought the concept was absurd and egotistical.

Interestingly enough, he was supposedly selling the T-Shirts for a noble cause. He was selling them to ‘save the world’! Years after his blockbuster T-Shirt announcement, Rodman signed a deal to launch his own merchandise recently.

Dennis Rodman signs deal to launch merchandise

Chicago Bulls icon Dennis Rodman has some of the most interesting stories both on and off the court. Back in 2017, Rodman did the unthinkable.

He visited North Korea and met his ‘friend for life’ Kim Jong-un. Interestingly enough, after his return, he made an appearance wearing his own T-Shirt. In the design, an animated Rodman is seen spinning a basketball in front of a globe. 

“I am Ambassador Rodman, and I come in peace, get your limited T-shirt now“, tweeted Rodman along with his picture of wearing the t-shirt. In just a few hours, numerous people around the world had already bought the merch.

Interestingly enough, the site suggested that the customers will be helping the NBA legend to ‘save the world.’ However, this attracted a lot of flak from certain sections of society. Many critics thought this level of self-promotion without having achieved any diplomatic feat is absurd. Incidentally, Dennis Rodman had failed to negotiate the release of three American prisoners with his ‘friend’ Kim Jong-un. A forth prisoner, Otto Warmbier was freed in a state of comatose medical emergency. He later passed away in an American hospital. Therefore, the backlash on Rodman’s merch was understandable.

Years after this incident, the five-time NBA champion recently signed a deal to officially launch his merchandise. Rodman’s team teamed up with Supply ID Co to launch his merchandise available worldwide from the 25th of November.

“I’m looking to bring the iconic fashion from the 90’s and early 2000’s back in a big way and the guys at ID Supply Co. are helping me bring this vision to life“, said Rodman.

Rodman pulled off unique styles before it was cool

Calling the Chicago Bulls and Detroit Pistons legend Dennis Rodman unique would be an understatement. During his time in the NBA, he sported bizarre and bold outfits with ease. 

Apart from his outfits, his hairstyles made him stand out from the rest. When Bulls teammate Scottie Pippen returned during the 1997-98 season, Rodman celebrated his return by sporting the number 33 on his head! Moreover, his numerous public appearances show us the elite sense of style the NBA legend possessed.
