Cited: - The source provided says that the $4 million in sales is based on the team name, not Brandiose's design.
Interesting:
QPQ: None required.
Overall: My first DYK review and I'm not sure about the hook, so requesting another reviewer. Thank you.

In addition to the original source, I added another (the NYT link) that directly attributes the merchandise sales to Brandiose's rebrand.

Kimikel:: Is Brandiose responsible for the name change/rebrand? If so, perhaps you could remove "design" from the hook, maybe that would work better?
@
GoldRomean: The name itself was chosen by a fan poll. Brandiose was responsible for the design of all the branding. Based on that, if there's a better way to phrase that part of the hook, I'd have no problems with it.
