Disney has expanded its merchandise offerings through new themed collections. Initially, Walt Disney World debuted an X-Men themed experience at EPCOT featuring the ‘Marvel Vault’ collection, which includes apparel and accessories inspired by the X-Men ’97 lineup.

Following this, Disney collaborated with the NFL, Champion, and Fanatics to launch the ‘Disney x Champion NFL Collection’. This apparel line pairs all 32 NFL teams with characters from Disney, Pixar, Marvel, and Star Wars based on team history and colors. While the collection is available through various retailers, some social media users have expressed dissatisfaction regarding specific character pairings and limited sizing options.
