Apple will reportedly sell 'Ted Lasso' Nike merch on its online store

Apple will supposedly soon sell Ted Lasso Nike merch on its online store. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that this is the first time Apple will offer TV+ merch directly to customers. The Ted Lasso Nike merch includes AFC Richmond jerseys, shirts, and scarves. Before this partnership, Warner Bros. sold a range of gear inspired by the show through its website.

The Nike merch will not be sold in Apple retail stores, though. Instead, shoppers can scan a QR code to buy them online. The third season of Ted Lasso, Apple’s most popular original series, will end on May 31. It is unclear if there will be more seasons or spinoffs, as Apple has not confirmed anything yet.

Bumble brings 'Ted Lasso' dating app to life

If you were wondering if Bantr would be a good fit to try out, you'd get to find that out soon. The chat dating app on the hit Apple TV+ show Ted Lasso is coming to Bumble. It's going to be a new feature called Bantr Live, where you get three minutes to chat with another Bantr Live player without seeing a photo of them (similar to the premise of Bantr on the show). 

When your three minutes are up, you'll be asked if you want to match. You'll then see a small image of the other person. After you click yes or no, you'll be asked if you want to chat with someone new. The feature will be live every Thursday at 7pm starting on October 13 until December 31. The chat sessions will last until 8pm. So, you can use up the entire time to talk to different people. At the end of the session or when you choose to exit Bantr Live, you'll see if you made matches. The matches you've made (those that clicked yes) will show up on your regular Bumble Date queue.
