Forget Sneakers, The Hottest Athlete Endorsement Item On The Streets Today Are Lamps
The marketing geniuses of Lamps Plus have finally GOT their guy. Allow me to introduce to you the Forrest Lamp brought to you by Forrest Lamp from Lamps Plus. Try saying that 5 times fast. Actually, that was easier to say out loud than I imagined. Nevermind.
This is awesome. Do you realize how sick lamps are?! I couldn’t imagine being 26-years-old and having my own lamp line. Has Forrest Lamp officially made it? Forget getting drafted in the 2nd round, this has to be the greatest accomplishment of his life. Forrest was destined for greatness after his parents looked outside when they couldn’t figure out what to name him. It’s unfortunate they didn’t name him something like “Bright” or “Floor,” because these things would be selling like hotcakes.
And is Forrest the first lineman with an endorsement deal? I’m sure there are others, but this feels like the first. I know sure as hell he’s the first NFL player with a lamp deal. Suck on that Aaron Rodgers and ‘The Rodgers Rate.’
Who am I kidding? These things are probably flying off the shelves.
Is it just me, or does the base of this lamp somewhat resemble Kyle Brandt’s Angry Run Scepter? Or what about Gandalf’s staff from Lord of the Rings?
The Forrest Sequoia floor lamp is a bright spot for both the season and the home. The lamp is also appropriate for the 2020-2021 NFL season with fans improving their homes while primarily watching their teams on screens at home.

You see what they did there? A “bright” spot in an otherwise train wreck of a season for the Chargers. Luckily for Forrest, his new signature lamp is something he can quite literally hang his hat on. You can tell Lamps Plus has their finger on the pulse of lamp market, because they know that everyone is enjoying the 3-9 Chargers from the comfort of their own home.
I just hope this leads to other athletes playing into their names. I’d like to see Preparation H set up a deal with Jake Butt, Best Buy to sign a deal with CeeDee Lamb, or maybe have the Watt brothers (hosts of ULTIMATE TAG on FOX) sell some lightbulbs, give me Patrick Mahomes signing a deal with a real estate agency, Devin Bush selling some products from our friends at MANSCAPED™, Teddy Bridgewater could be the spokesman for Pittsburgh’s tourism board, and maybe get Nick Chubb pitching ED pills.
