The USPS is releasing round, textured stamps that feel like actual sports balls

When was the last time you bought stamps? Still thinking? Yeah, me too. Anyway, there might actually be some stamps that cause you to go to the post office and buy, because they’re weird.

ROUND STAMPS? WHAT IS THIS MADNESS?!

A news series of sports ball stamps highlight seven of the most popular sports in the country, and kickball because releasing seven stamps would be weird. The best part if they’re taking a page out of the Lisa Frank book and making them textured, so they’ll feel like the ball of the actual sports they represent.

There’s a little creativity being used here with the football. It makes it look like a weird target or something. No real gripes with the others. That said, you have to wonder why they didn’t just make this a “sports” collection and sub out kickball for a hockey puck. The mind boggles.
