Luxury Clothing Brand Strikes Licensing Deal With NFL, Gets Dismissed by Fans Over Super High Apparel Pricing

Merchandise is a big source of revenue for any sports league in the world, including the NFL. It is a great way to make the fans feel connected to the teams they love while making money that can make the league even better. Keeping up with the tradition, a luxury clothing brand recently struck a licensing deal with the NFL to create a new line of fan apparel. But the fans dismissed the idea even before the launch due to the high prices of the products.

The NFL is the biggest commercial sports league in the world with billions of dollars of revenue each year. It caters to a wide market of fans with different spending habits. Now, luxury brand Boss will create apparel in different team colors for enthusiastic fans. But will the idea go well with its intended target?

Boss gets an NFL licensing deal 

The luxury brand, Boss, has signed a licensing deal with the NFL to create a fresh line of fan apparel for those mad about football. Featuring clothing for both men and women, the line will include everything from hoodies, sweatshirts, T-shirts, Polo shirts, and tracksuits to shorts and bottoms. It will hit the online and offline shelves on Monday.

The apparel line will start off with some of the league’s most popular teams like the Dallas Cowboys, New York Giants, and the Las Vegas Raiders. It also includes the Los Angeles Rams and the Miami Dolphins. After the initial launch, Boss will expand the line in August with 17 more NFL outfits including the 2022 season’s two best teams, the Kansas City Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles.

The price of the new apparel depends on the type of clothes a fan would want. Hoodies go as high as $198 while one can get their hands on T-shirts for $98. Although fans love the idea of fan apparel, this one got a lukewarm response due to the high prices.
