First, KFC rolled out a robot version of Colonel Sanders. Now, the brand is introducing a new line of apparel and home goods designed to let consumers show off their love for fried chicken.

Items available for purchase include a pillowcase with Colonel Sanders on it, &ldquo;finger lickin&rsquo; good jewelry&rdquo; and a meteorite that they&rsquo;ve carved into the shape of the brand&rsquo;s signature &ldquo;Zinger&rdquo; fried chicken sandwich. While most items are affordable to purchase&mdash;with price tags starting at $8.00&mdash;the meteorite is going for $20,000.

This isn&rsquo;t the first time that a restaurant concept like KFC has introduced its own clothing line&mdash;Pizza Hut had its Hut Swag idea last year. However, KFC&rsquo;s products are more geared towards its specific brand than the fried chicken industry as a whole, whereas Pizza Hut targeted pizza lovers everywhere.

Steve Kelly, KFC U.S.&rsquo;s director of media and digital, told Adweek, &ldquo;KFC and Colonel Sanders have been American pop culture icons for more than 70 years. Our fans were craving a way to embrace the fried chicken lifestyle, and KFC Ltd. gives them the opportunity to let their Colonel flag fly.&rdquo;
