Popeyes Chicken Has A Fashion Line And It's Somehow Not Designed By Beyonce
Fresh off of an amazing 2019 with the popularity of their chicken sandwich, Popeyes announced today that it would be selling their own clothing line on a fresh new website. The models of the clothing line happen to be actual employees of the chain and while the clothes are on sale, the proceeds will be given to the company's charitable foundation.
Of course following the announcement, the reactions rolled in rather fast on Twitter. Comparisons to Beyonce's recently released Ivy Park line were made, and soon it was pretty much anyone could talk about. Whether or not the chain decided to capitalize on the shared colors used in both brands, remains to be confirmed. Oh, and if you're interested in purchasing any of the products, you better movie quickly since several are already sold out!

Some felt that the brand may have gone too far.
Bruh, Popeyes got a clothing line? That’s the definition of doing the most.

And thought maybe it might have been a joke.

One user thought the uniforms looked a little too similar to Virginia Tech's school colors.

Several were happy to celebrate the company for hiring their own employees as models and donating the proceeds.
The models are all Popeyes employees and the proceeds go to the Popeyes Foundation? And it’s a price point I can afford? I have no choice but to stan. https://t.co/ETM35brIOi

Some were shocked that they were interested in the clothing line.

And while their sandwiches may still be impossible to purchase, these items should suffice in the meantime.

One even planned to use the uniforms to secure free food.

The biggest reaction of all however came from people comparing the fashion line's similarities to Beyonce's clothing line.
Popeye’s Marketing team: What if we sell a line of clothing?Higher ups: of…Popeyes clothing?PMT: Yes. Higher ups: why would anyone want to wear that?PMT: Looks at Ivy Park …trust us. I’m thinking that’s how it went 😂

To some, it was purely a knock off.

And while Kim Kardashian received her Ivy Park box from Beyonce today, many couldn't help but notice the timing.

We look forward to how Beyonce will respond, but we're pretty sure this is what her attorneys look like today.
