Shoppers leg it to Primark for ‘cute’ Netflix show merch as they cry ‘we need everything’
THE Netflix docuseries about their lives was watched for 687 million minutes in its first week.
And as interest in the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders shows no sign of waning any time soon, with a second series on the way, people are keen to show support for the glam team.
So it’s unsurprising that Primark has now got in on the action with a range of branded clothing.
Posting on TikTok, staff at the Sauchiehall Street store in Glasgow said: “New in Dallas Cowboys merch.”
Their clip has since gone viral, racking up 60,000 views in just 24 hours.
The short video features a close up look of a grey slouchy hoodie with the Dallas Cowboys emblem across the front and a cute baby tee version in the same colour.
And while the elite cheerleading team only has 36 coveted uniforms up for grabs, fans can now show their support too with the branded merch.
So far, the baby tee isn’t available on the website for click and collect so you’ll need to nip in store to find it.
But describing the £20 hoodie, Primark bosses say: “Show your team spirit in this grey Dallas Cowboys hoodie, designed for laid-back comfort and style.
“The oversized fit with dropped shoulders creates a relaxed silhouette, while the iconic Cowboys star and team name take centre stage on the front.
“Navy blue graphics pop against the heather grey backdrop, making this piece a standout addition to any fan’s wardrobe.
“Ribbed trims at the cuffs and hem help keep the shape just right.
“Try pairing it with wide-leg joggers and trainers for game day gatherings or weekend errands.”
Thee is also a £12 oversized navy T-shirt available as part of the range, as well as a navy and white short sleeved jersey for £14.
And shoppers are desperate to get their hands on it all, as one gushed: “We need everything.”
A second wrote: “I hope this comes to my local store.”
A third said: “They are a need.”
“I can’t lie, I was gonna buy one”, admitted a fourth.
A fifth cried: “Ooo they cute.”
Meanwhile, someone else chimed in: “OH MY GOLLY GOSH.”
The Dallas Cowboys range isn’t the only themed merch you will find in store, with other cute options available in time for Christmas.
From Bratz pyjamas giving noughties vibes to Disney Beauty and the Beast goodies that will suit all ages, there’s something for everyone.
