AFM Sports Beaker — New England Patriots
AFM Glass has been making scientific borosilicate water pipes in California for over a decade. The Sports Beaker series takes their standard 18-inch beaker build — 5mm thick glass, stable beaker base, clean lines — and wraps it in the colors of your favorite team. The result is a piece that functions identically to AFM's standard scientific beakers but carries the visual identity of your team on every session.
The Patriots edition serves the significant New England fan base that exists in Los Angeles — transplants, transplants' kids, and fans who adopted the franchise during its dynasty years. The navy and silver combination is one of the more sophisticated color pairings in professional football, creating a beaker that reads as premium rather than loud. For Patriots fans in LA who want to represent their team on a proper piece of glass, this is the only AFM option in the lineup.
Angie's Boutique at 838 N Broadway in Downtown LA has been an authorized AFM Glass retailer since 1990. Browse the full AFM Glass collection and all beaker bongs at Angie's Boutique.

⚠ Known Limitations

Common Questions About the AFM New England Patriots Sports Beaker
What size bowl fits the AFM Sports Beaker?
The AFM 18-inch Sports Beaker uses a 14mm male bowl. The piece includes an AFM 14mm male bowl, but any standard 14mm male bowl from another brand will also fit. The downstem is 18mm female at the base and 14mm female at the top, so you can swap in different 14mm bowls or add an ashcatcher with an 18mm male connector at the bottom.
Is this an officially licensed New England Patriots piece?
The AFM Sports Beaker uses the New England Patriots colorway as a tribute design but is not officially licensed by the team, league, or any sports organization. It's a California-made glass piece that references the team's color identity. The quality and build are identical to AFM's standard scientific beakers — this is a serious functional piece, not a novelty item.
Can I use the AFM Sports Beaker for both flower and concentrates?
The AFM Sports Beaker is optimized for dry herb use. The included 14mm bowl and removable downstem are configured for flower. You can add a 14mm male quartz banger for concentrate use, but a dedicated dab rig will give better concentrate performance. For flower use, this beaker is fully equipped out of the box.
How does 5mm glass thickness compare to other beakers on the market?
5mm is the standard for quality scientific glass — it provides meaningful drop resistance and thermal durability without excessive weight. Entry-level beakers often use 3mm glass that's significantly more fragile. Premium scientific glass uses 7mm or 9mm in some pieces. AFM's 5mm is the practical sweet spot for daily use.
