17 Jul
Summary
- Disney characters are now featured with all 32 NFL teams.
- A new apparel line blends iconic Disney figures with NFL teams.
- The collection launches with eight teams and expands in August.
The Walt Disney Co. and the National Football League have united to launch the "Disney | Champion NFL Collection," a new consumer product line that pairs iconic Disney characters with all 32 NFL teams. This initiative aims to bridge the worlds of fantasy and sports, offering fans a unique way to express their allegiances.
The collection debuted at Fanatics Fest in New York, featuring an event where Darth Vader was symbolically the first pick in a "Disney Fan Draft" for the Las Vegas Raiders. This launch included eight NFL teams and their corresponding Disney pairings, such as Captain America with the New England Patriots and Woody with the Dallas Cowboys.
All 32 NFL teams will be represented in the collection when it fully launches in August. Disney meticulously selected characters to align with each team's personality, colors, and city identity. This venture underscores Disney's commitment to expanding fan engagement across sports through culturally relevant products and experiences, especially as the company builds toward major sporting events.
