10 of the Strangest Athlete Endorsements

Here at Pickstar, we love seeing athletes endorse their favourite products but sometimes it gets weird. Really weird.

Here is our list with some of the most bizarre athlete product or brand endorsements from around the globe and on home soil.

The NBA's G.O.A.T swaps his trademark Nike's for bowling shoes in this cringe-worthy endorsement from the mid-nineties.

While not exactly a staple in the diet of an elite athlete, KFC Arabia somehow roped Ronaldo in for this one. How many laps of the pitch do you think he had to run after shooting this ad?

We know it's an oldie, but it's still such a goodie. The legend himself thinks this particular roach trap is beautiful, watch for yourself and see.

'You are what you drink', or so says Steph Curry. Given he is a 'splash brother' alongside fellow Golden State Warriors guard Klay Thompson, the 2x NBA MVP and 3x NBA Champion appears to be the authority on all things wet.

Well known for his days spent modelling underwear, and playing a bit of soccer too, this deal was a slightly out of left-field for the English superstar.

Showing off his trademark locks, 'The Honey Badger' shines in this quirky shampoo commercial. Nick Cummins is one of Australia's great sporting characters, so if anyone could pull this gig, off it's him.

One from the archives, Aussie tennis star Pat Rafter gives us an insight into why tennis players grunt so much. We think there's some truth to this one.

The Australian Cricket star really loves his OLED, what else can he say? This ad quickly became one the most meme-able sports endorsements and the subject of massive levels of social media banter. LG certainly got the online reach they were looking for!

Our all-time favourite is from Shane Warne, and his immense fear of hair loss. He's been the face of Advanced Hair Studio since 2006, and while we're happy he's still got a full head of hair, we can't help but chuckle at his commercials. Here are our favourites from over the years, we couldn't just pick one:

Bringing the fun back to sports biz!

Seriously, there are no limits. At Pickstar, we've just about seen it all, including an AFL legend reading a best man's speech, a Bar Mitzvah appearance and more!
