Apple starts selling 'Ted Lasso' merch, but only at Apple Park
Merchandise for the Apple TV+ show "Ted Lasso" has gone on sale from Apple directly, but only from the Apple Park Visitor Center and not other Apple Stores.

In May, it was rumored that Apple was to start to sell goods based on the hugely popular "Ted Lasso" via its online Apple Store. While it hasn't appeared in the digital storefront yet, items have surfaced in a very limited fashion.
Visitors to the Apple Park Visitor Center, including one AppleInsider writer, were surprised by a table covered with "Ted Lasso" merchandise. The shirts and other items based on the team within the show were unexpectedly available to be checked out by customers.
However, while the appearance bodes well for further availability of the items in other Apple sales channels, that may not be for a while.
A follow-up tweet added that Apple "delayed or cancelled it everywhere but one location," referring to the Apple Park collection.
While the promotional material destruction may not bode well for general availability, the appearance at Apple Park could still mean the plan to sell the "Ted Lasso" merch on a wider scale may go ahead at some point.

In a Sunday tweet, Mark Gurman of Bloomberg reiterated that Apple planned to start selling the merch at the Apple Park Visitor Center store. At the same time, Gurman claims other stores "have been told to destroy promotional material for the merchandise launch."Exclusive first look at new #TedLasso merch at Apple Park ahead of #WWDC23 ! pic.twitter.com/MobDpRvFtM

With Apple well designed in terms of color (like with iMacs) there should be no problems in colors when black and white is added in. Holding those colors it is also simple to sell limited quantities in the store when talking about a classic coffee mug, with over night restocking of stores.
New colors can be obvious, like pink for October (Breast Cancer month) or red and green for the Christmas season.
My son-in-law has a black light weight jacket that she still love. Simple, basic stock that can be sold on the internet.
At least in the US - where I do not reside ๐
