The National Football League and Logo Brands signed a multi-year agreement, commencing on April 1, 2021, granting the rights to manufacture, produce and distribute stadium blankets, throws and pillows representing all NFL teams.
"In the hardlines category of sports licensing, this is one of the largest and most important categories to retail," said Jason Potts, Vice President of Business Development, Logo Brands. "I want to thank the NFL for partnering with Logo Brands, and I am confident that we will innovate, refresh and most importantly grow this category."
"Logo Brands has had the determination and foundation for a strong business model since they first presented to The NFL," said Jennifer Gray, Licensing Director, NFL. "It's exciting to watch as they expand their rights in the sports licensed space. While the home category has been a strong business for us, we believe there is much more we can do in today's marketplace."
