I Present To You: Alternative Options for That NFL Mascot Merchandise Collab
With the reveal of the full lineup of NFL Disney Mascots as part of a new collaboration today with a new collection of Champion Merchandise, Tony couldn't help but wonder if there were some more obvious mascot picks. The official lineup is great and all, but feels a bit too marketing specific. It makes sense given the point is to move merchandise, but there are a lot of other characters - especially in the world of animation - that might fit better.
Bath & Body Works' latest collaboration with Disney is a frightfully fun Halloween collection featuring two brand new fragrances inspired by the Pumpkin King Jack Skellington and his beloved Sally.

This is Halloween: BoxLunch Launches New "The Nightmare Before Christmas" Collection
