'Big Hat' sales skyrocket after shoutout from Commanders' Brian Robinson
Washington Commanders star rookie running back Brian Robinson Jr. may be due for a sponsorship deal.
TMZ Sports reported Tuesday that the Noggin Boss company that sells the type of big hats Robinson rocked after this past Sunday's 19-13 win over the Atlanta Falcons "saw a whopping 2,000% increase in orders" thanks largely to the 23-year-old. The company added that Monday was particularly massive for its brand.
After Robinson seemingly got the figurative ball rolling, a customized Noggin Boss big hat later made an appearance on ESPN's "SportsCenter" that followed the "Monday Night Football" game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and Indianapolis Colts:
Noggin Boss also told TMZ that they heard from multiple networks about obtaining big hats for their on-air personalities following Sunday's development. While the company claims to be working on multiple "pretty huge" endorsement deals, it doesn't yet have a working arrangement with Robinson.
Robinson recorded a season-high 105 rushing yards on 18 carries against Atlanta to help Washington improve to 7-5 heading into this Sunday's game against the 7-4 New York Giants. Also on Tuesday, Football Outsiders projected the Commanders have a better shot at making the playoffs than the Giants even though New York is one spot ahead of Washington in the overall conference standings.
To borrow from the famous saying: To the victor go the big hats.
