The majority of sports worldwide have been impacted heavily by the COVID-19 outbreak, with the huge crowds and physical contact between players considered potential triggers for further viral spread. However, thankfully many sports are returning to play -- albeit in a limited capacity. The UK Soccer Premier League is one such sport returning to play behind closed doors (no in-person crowds), which has led the teams in the league to restock their online shops with promotional giveaways fans can enjoy from home.

Soccer is an incredibly popular sport all around the world and appeals to people of different ages and backgrounds. People are attracted to soccer because it is unique in its ability to combine physical activity with strategy and teamwork, while also providing a way to sharpen one's concentration skills.

 

This makes the game thrilling for both players and fans alike as they develop their understanding of the tactics at play far beyond any individual player’s efforts. Furthermore, achieving success in soccer relies less on physical size or strength than on skill with the ball, technique, knowledge of strategy and team plays; which opens up opportunities for players who might not do well in other sports due too physical limitations.

 

Additionally, there are multiple forms soccer can be played ranging from solo drills perfect for getting some exercise by yourself through pickup games with nearly no equipment needed up to professional-level competitions that offer excitement that transcends generations amongst cultures​. As such, it does little wonder why so many people around enjoy playing this beloved sport!

Quirky Promotional Gifts for Soccer Fans

The COVID-19 lockdown has been pretty tough for sports fans of all stripes, but soccer fans in the UK had the Premier League season suspended just as it was heating up. Thankfully they're proceeding soon with new matches, which means it is the perfect time to pick up some merch and get supporting your favourite team from home.

 

However, not everyone is selling team logo t-shirts and soccer balls to grab attention and some of the biggest premier leagues have truly weird and wonderful merchandise in their stores.

Memorable Football Merchandise

Some of the more memorable pieces of team-branded merchandise available online right now include:

  • Authentic Lego Manchester Stadium
  • Arsenal Home Banana Lounge
  • Chelsea FC Authentic Rubix Cubes
  • Tottenham Hotspurs Branded Bra and Panties
  • Sheffield United Personalised Bricks
  • Newcastle United Custom Halloween Gnome Figures
  • Liverpool Branded Lavazza Coffee Machines

Pretty wild, huh? If you can put a football club logo on it, then a Premier League team probably sells it!

Other Promotional Gift Ideas for Clubs

But that doesn't mean all the merchandise on offer is bizarre, some of the best-sellers across all club sites include:

  • Club Logo Metal Keyrings
  • Club Colour Personal Face Masks
  • Logo Printed Team T-Shirts
  • Soccer Essential Drawstring Backsacks
  • Personalised Soccer Balls
  • Custom Printed Ceramic Mugs
  • and more!

It just goes to show that although the big name items might draw our attention with their absurdity, the products that sell consistently are the more standard items that don't cost too much and will fit in a standard UK home.

 

So don't worry if your team only has room for basics like scarves, tees, and mugs -- sports fans will appreciate being able to show their team solidarity in even the simplest of ways. Here's hoping other sports leagues can slowly start playing again soon as we gradually see lockdowns lifted across the world.
