Clippers team up with local artist to create special merchandise for mayor's COVID-19 fund

The Los Angeles Clippers announced they have teamed up with local artist Mister Cartoon to release a limited-edition L.A. Relief Fund merchandise collection, in which 100% of the proceeds will go toward the Mayor's Fund for Los Angeles.

The black-and-white L.A. Relief Collection designed in partnership with Mister Cartoon features his signature Old English font on a hooded sweatshirt and two T-shirts, according to the team.

"During these times, the strength of our community has never been more evident or more important,'' said Gillian Zucker, the Clippers' president of business operations. "We are excited to partner once again with Mister Cartoon, an artist with deep passion for Angelenos, who has made a profound
impact on Los Angeles for decades and looks to do so once again by celebrating our collective strength.''

Also involved are the Los Angeles Lakers, Los Angeles Kings, Los Angeles Sparks, LA Galaxy and Ontario Reign.
