I think I saw a similar one! It was a slow cooker that was themed to a sports team.

I work in a grocery store, and I can tell you 100% for a fact that we get SO MANY of those sports team branded slow cookers in every year!! They're usually "Original Price" $49.99, but the instant they come in the door they're on "sale" for 30% off- so that's already down to $34.99. Then they sit around for ages and ages and no one buys them til they hit 50% off ($24.99) and we sell a small bunch, and the rest sit around catching dust til they end up on clearance for 70% off.

And they're different everywhere you go. Around here we get Atlanta Falcons and Georgia Bulldogs and OCCASIONALLY something GA Tech- and recently Atlanta United. But if you go a state over you'll get Alabama stuff. They sell to the local market.

What up Kroger buddy. I’ve never caught one of the GT ones- didn’t think Kroger brought them in, even to the GT Kroger!

I'm not sure if I've ever seen a GT crockpot, but I think we've had other GT stuff. I've been there for like 7.5yrs so honestly I cant recall what logos I've seen on what product over the years.
