A major entertainment and sports partnership has produced a comprehensive character-themed apparel collection for the National Football League. Disney Consumer Products collaborated with the NFL, Champion, and Fanatics to create a line connecting all 32 team franchises with characters from Disney’s various entertainment properties, including Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars. The merchandise offering encompasses t-shirts, crew neck sweatshirts, and fleece items that are currently available through online retailers and select physical store locations across the country.
The creative matchings reflect careful consideration of each team’s identity and fan culture. Notable pairings include the Philadelphia Eagles represented by Doctor Doom, the Green Bay Packers paired with Chewbacca, and the Kansas City Chiefs matched with the Big Bad Wolf. The assignments span across all NFL divisions, with choices ranging from classic Disney characters like Woody for the Dallas Cowboys to Marvel villains like Thanos for the Tennessee Titans and Star Wars figures like Darth Vader for the Las Vegas Raiders.
The initiative forms part of a broader promotional campaign by Disney and ESPN leading into a significant broadcasting milestone. The entertainment companies are marking this as their “Year of the Super Bowl,” building momentum toward ESPN’s inaugural Super Bowl broadcast scheduled for February 14, 2027. Fans interested in purchasing items from the Disney x Champion NFL Collection can find the products at NFLShop, Fanatics, and the Disney Store.
