Are you a fan of football and Disney? Get ready for an epic collaboration coming this week.
The Walt Disney Company is joining forces with clothing brand Champion on a collection that pairs all 32 NFL teams with characters from Disney, Pixar, Marvel and Star Wars.
“Around the world, millions of sports fans can likely recite the stats on the back of their favorite football card or relive a clutch touchdown from years ago as if it happened yesterday,” Disney said in a press release last month. “In much the same way, Disney fans can often instantly name their favorite character or top attraction, recalling so many unforgettable stories and memories shared with family and friends over the years.”
The collaboration was first revealed during July’s Fanatics Fest NYC during the Disney Fan Draft, according to ABC News. The event was headlined by past and present NFL stars, including Floridians Tom Brady and Emmitt Smith.
