Los Angeles residents looking to order food from the UberEats app on Monday will be greeted by a new side dish: Rams jerseys, T-shirts and signed memorabilia to commemorate the return of NFL football to the city after a 22-year hiatus.
In advance of the Rams’ Monday night road game against the San Francisco 49ers, UberEats will be slinging this merchandise from 10 am to 8 pm PT through the restaurant delivery app. The apparel should arrive within 40 minutes and can be ordered with or without food.
The promotion is a partnership between Uber and Fanatics, the online retailer that sells licensed team apparel for professional and collegiate sports. Fanatics also has a memorabilia relationship with quarterback Jared Goff and will be selling helmets signed by the rookie throughout the day.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?
Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:
First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.
Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.
So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)
If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
