World-renowned musician, producer, fashion designer and self-proclaimed SpongeBob SquarePants enthusiast Pharrell Williams’ streetwear brand Billionaire Boys Club ICECREAM has partnered with Nickelodeon's beloved animated series for a new line of apparel!
The collaboration is inspired by the SpongeBob episode “Goons on the Moon.” The 22nd episode from season 11 saw Sandy take her Science Scout troop on a mission to the moon. Each item in the line is adorned with stills from the episode and graphics of SpongeBob sitting on the moon. The limited-edition collaboration is comprised of t-shirts, storage crates, skate decks and pins.
“Goons on the Moon”, also titled "SpaceBob MerryPants", premiered on Nickelodeon as a holiday special in November 2018.

“SpongeBob is a pop culture icon, and we are thrilled to offer this collaboration to fans new and old,” says Pharrell Williams.
Pharrell is a massive fan of SpongeBob SquarePants. To celebrate his 41st birthday, the singer threw himself a SpongeBob themed party, which transformed New York City’s Cipriani into Bikini Bottom for a bash starring Nickelodeon’s “pineapple under the sea” resident.
The music extraordinaire previously collaborated on the SpongeBob X ICECREAM fashion line in 2013, and also reunited with N.E.R.D to contribute the song "Squeeze Me" to the soundtrack for Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Animation's 2015 theatrical The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water.
The SpongeBob apparel joins other recent fashion collaborations from other brands including Nike and Timberland, and a homeware collaboration from Modernica with Chicago-based visual artist Louis De Guzman and global music artist J Balvin.
SpongeBob SquarePants, which was recently greenlit for a 13th season, has reigned as the number-one kids’ animated series on TV for the last 17 years, while generating a universe of beloved characters, pop culture catchphrases and memes, theatrical releases, consumer products, a Tony award-winning Broadway musical which is now touring North America and a global fan base.
