October 13, 2016 Ken Bone captivated America when he asked a question on energy policy during the second presidential debate . Now he's capitalizing on his newfound red-sweater fame with a t-shirt deal and an endorsement with Uber. Bone launched his official shirt via Twitter (TWTR) on Wednesday, inviting America to "enter the #bonezone." His official shirt is available for one week only on the crowd-selling platform, Represent, costing $19.99 for a fitted tee and $34.99 for a pullover sweatshirt. An Uber spokesperson told CNBC the company was "fascinated by Ken Bone's emergence onto the national stage," and partnered with him on the launch of UberSelect in St. Louis. The spokesperson said the company was providing Bone with Uber credit for his role in the launch, and specified that it is not a long-term endorsement deal. CNBC reached out to Bone, who said he would follow up with a comment Thursday evening. https://www.yahoo.com/news/ken-bone-lands-uber-endorsement-190106152.html Well, I don't think they Uber is going to go with the endorsement anymore and I think the T-shirt sales are going to drop off. https://twitter.com/kenbone18/status/786374344536502272/photo/1 |
