Fanatics Fest is a convention for all sports fans located at the Javitz Center in New York City. At the third annual FanFest, Disney, the NFL, and Champion have joined forces to bring a first-of-its-kind collaboration that pairs all 32 NFL teams with iconic Disney, Star Wars, Marvel, and Pixar characters across heritage-inspired tees, crew, and sweatshirts. Each pairing was thoughtfully developed through a creative and "drafting" process, grounded in team identity, character storytelling, and a deep understanding of sports fandom, resulting in designs that feel both authentic and instantly recognizable to fans. The Notable Pairings of Disney x NFL People can see that Toy Story's Woody is the perfect pick for the Cowboys or the Jets pairing with Buzz Lightyear, when we asked Bret Healey, Director of Graphic Design at Disney Consumer Products, what some of the processes were for the pairings, he shared that "Even with those matchups I wanted there to be a second story to them... The Jets are tied back and were founded during the kickoff of the space age". The thoughtful process that the Disney team put into the collaboration really showed at Fanatics Fest. Each pairing draws from a team's history, city, and overall spirit, authentically matching it with a character whose story and personality naturally align.
