Disney x Champion Unleash Character-Infused NFL Merchandise
The Walt Disney Company and Champion have collaborated on a new clothing line that pairs NFL teams with various characters from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. The collection, called 'Disney | Champion NFL Collection,' launched nationwide on August 24 and is available online at Fanatics.com, NFLShop.com, and DisneyStore.com. Each of the 32 NFL teams was paired with a character through a fan draft.
The Miami Dolphins were surprisingly paired with King Triton from 'The Little Mermaid.' The collection also includes other unique pairings such as Jafar and Iago from 'Aladdin' for the Arizona Cardinals, and Chewbacca from 'Star Wars' for the Green Bay Packers. Other notable pairings include Woody from 'Toy Story' for the Dallas Cowboys and Darth Vader from 'Star Wars' for the Las Vegas Raiders.
The collaboration was first revealed during July's Fanatics Fest NYC, where past and present NFL stars were in attendance. The event included a Disney fan draft that allowed fans to vote for their favorite character pairings.
