Rubio store offers the ‘Marco Polo’

Sen. Marco Rubio’s (R-Fla.) newly launched product store for his presidential campaign contains collared “Marco Polo” shirts in red, white and blue, emblazoned with his campaign’s “Marco” logo.

Rubio’s campaign is selling the shirts for around $50 each, along with other apparel and traditional campaign buttons, baseball caps, mugs and bumper stickers.

His campaign drummed up anticipation for the store rollout on Twitter, also playing off the presidential candidate’s first name:

MARCO….

Aides have sold products before in humorous ways, most memorably marketing Rubio water bottles after his dry-throated State of the Union Republican rebuttal on national TV in 2013.

Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic presidential front-runner, has similarly grabbed attention with her campaign selling a “pantsuit tee” inspired by one of the former secretary of State’s signature looks.
