People’s obsession with Ted Lasso was summed up perfectly by the star himself, Jason Sudekis, when he said in his Saturday Night Live monologue, “It’s become a hit, which is shocking to me because it’s based on two things Americans hate: soccer and kindness. But love it, we do. And if you have a Ted Lasso superfan in your house, the time to choose the perfect Ted Lasso gift is now.
As you might expect, the internet has answered the call of all Lasso lovers with plenty of goods and goodies, from Etsy paraphernalia to WB Shop-approved swag. You know you gotta own at least a few A.F.C. Richmond scarves, right? Like any sports league, the show has all the accessories you might need to pretend to be a baller. But there are loads of creative takes on the show from the do it yourself crew as well. Maybe you need a “Believe” sticker. Or perhaps you know someone who’d be thrilled to get a “Roy F*ckin Kent” shirt. Even better? How about a Ted Lasso mustache face mask for this holiday season? It truly is the gift that keeps on giving every time you have to run out the house for an errand.
As Lasso once said, “the harder you work, the luckier you get.”

A.F.C. Richmond V-Neck Sweater

You can get that same sporty look with this AFC Richmond V-Neck Sweater. Made from 60/40 cotton/nylon, this features rib knit at the neck, cuffs, and hem. The patch on the front lets your friends know whose side you’re on so there won’t be any confusion who you support.

Another very British move? Having sports scarves. That’s what makes this Ted Lasso gift great. This crest scarf might bring Hogwarts to mind, but it’s really an AFC Richmond custom red and yellow with blue tassel trim accessory. Made of acrylic yarn, the team’s greyhound is knit proudly into the body of the design with the words A.F.C. Richmond running across its length. Buy it now to stay warm for the holidays and hold onto it for next year’s Halloween costume.

Or, a “Biscuits with the Boss” featuring Ted’s beloved shortbread cookies he hand delivers to Rebecca each morning.

Not when they’re sipping from this ceramic 11 or 15 ounce cuppa that’s microwave and dishwasher safe.
Ted Lasso Face Mask
