Disney Teams Up with NFL for Character-Inspired Apparel Collection
The Walt Disney Company has partnered with the National Football League (NFL), Champion, and Fanatics to create a new apparel collection. The line, which was first released in limited quantities at Fanatics Fest NYC on July 16, features pairings of NFL teams with beloved characters from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars franchises.
The collection includes eight initial team-character pairings, such as the Atlanta Falcons paired with the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars. The full range of 32 NFL teams is now available, with prices ranging from $29 for youth T-shirts to $119.99 for select sweatshirts.
Bret Healey, director of graphic design for Disney Consumer Products, stated that every pairing was inspired by the qualities and traditions that define each NFL team, as well as the shared personalities and traits between these teams and beloved characters.
