The Teddy Fresh and SpongeBob Square Pants Collection is set to drop on July 15th at the Teddy Fresh webstore.


Update (2/28) - Teddy Fresh today, Thursday, February 27, 2020 dropped its brand new collection inspired by the iconic Nickelodeon character SpongeBob SquarePants - and it instantly sold out! Based on how fast this sold, the company are considering doing one restock of Teddy Fresh x SpongeBob SquarePants - stay tuned!

Teddy Fresh, the formidable streetwear clothing brand from Hila Klein, is on the verge of dropping its biggest collab to date — a collection inspired by the iconic Nickelodeon character SpongeBob SquarePants!


Teddy Fresh began teasing the collab on social media earlier this week, in a post (below) stating that the collection would drop next Thursday at 1 pm ET. A photo showcases what appears to be three shirts touting Teddy Fresh’s bear mascot alongside SpongeBob himself. Spongebob, launched in 1999, is a merchandising powerhouse for ViacomCBS-owned Nickelodeon, having reportedly generated upwards of $13 billion in merchandise revenues alone for the company as of 2017.


Update (2/27) - The collection will be released on Thursday, February 27, 2020 at 10AM PST!



While neither pricing details nor the full item lineup have been unveiled just yet, details about the collaboration began leaking late last month — including a sheet of paper from a retail partner (likely Zumiez) instructing stores to “display all the Teddy Fresh x SpongeBob SquarePants you received in a highly visible location how you see fit.” The sheet also lists about 20 SKUs, though it isn’t discernible what they are from the available info (although one does mentioned "hoodie").


This isn’t Teddy Fresh’s first collab. The brand previously paired with fellow streetwear brand RipNDip (which is also stocked at Zumiez) for two different collections. In their first outing in Oct. 2018, items ranged in price from $12 for a sticker pack to $80 for a hoodie.

Teddy Fresh is the brainchild of Klein (who also serves as its CEO), who is one half of the married duo behind the popular YouTube comedy and commentary channel h3h3Productions. That said, Hila and her husband, Ethan, have not posted a video on that channel (6.6 million subscribers) in roughly eight months — instead focusing their efforts on The H3 Podcast, which is also distributed on YouTube and counts 3.7 million subscribers across two channels.

Teddy Fresh officially bowed in Oct. 2017 and received a major distribution push the following July through a pact with Seattle-founded Zumiez, which counts 607 stores across the United States.

Update (2/28) - Teddy Fresh today dropped its brand new collection inspired by the iconic Nickelodeon character SpongeBob SquarePants - and it instantly sold out! Based on how fast this sold, the company are considering doing one restock - stay tuned!

The 14-item collection spans hoodies, t-shirts, a pom pom beanie hat, patches and a fanny pack, with most available in a variety of colors. The unisex collection is available in a variety of sizes, from XS to 3XL. Each item features SpongeBob and the Teddy Fresh mascot and/or logo.

The SpongeBob apparel joins other recent fashion collaborations from brands such as Unimatic, Nike and Timberland, Pharrell Williams' Billionaire Boys Club ICECREAM, Edward Venero's VNRO, a skateboard collection from Santa Cruz Skateboards, a homeware collaboration from Modernica with Chicago-based visual artist Louis De Guzman and global music artist J Balvin, a dog apparel and accessories collection with Fresh Pawz, clothing with Zara, and a Grillz collaboration between J Balvin and Ian Delucca.

SpongeBob SquarePants, which was recently greenlit for a 13th season, has reigned as the number-one kids’ animated series on TV for the last 17 years, while generating a universe of beloved characters, pop culture catchphrases and memes, theatrical releases, consumer products, a Tony award-winning Broadway musical which is now touring North America and a global fan base. SpongeBob SquarePants is seen in more than 208 countries and territories, translated in 55+ languages, and averages more than 100 million total viewers every quarter. SpongeBob SquarePants is created by Stephen Hillenburg and produced by Nickelodeon in Burbank, Calif.

Nickelodeon's is currently in the midst of the network's "Best Year Ever", a year-long global celebration of one of the most iconic TV series and characters ever created. The “Best Year Ever” launched with the premiere of “SpongeBob’s Big Birthday Blowout,” an original mixed live-action and animated special earlier this summer, and leads up to the Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies theatrical, The SpongeBob Movie: It's a Wonderful Sponge, coming May 2020.

A CG-animated prequel spin-off series, Kamp Koral, following 10-year-old SpongeBob SquarePants during his summer at sleepaway camp, is also slated to premiere during Summer 2020.
