Johnnie-O Partners with NFL as Official Licensee for New Apparel Collection

Johnnie-O Partners with NFL: A New Era of Sports Apparel

Johnnie-O, a renowned lifestyle brand established in 2005, has taken a major step forward by becoming an official licensee of the National Football League (NFL). Known for merging East Coast classics with West Coast casual styles, and infused with a touch of Midwest grit, Johnnie-O is set to elevate fan fashion to a whole new level.

The new NFL Collection showcases officially licensed apparel featuring designs for each of the 32 NFL teams. With 29 different styles that cater to both men and women, the collection includes everything from sleek polos and functional quarter-zips to stylish lifestyle apparel. This collaboration aims to provide fans with a refined yet sporty alternative to traditional fan gear, embodying Johnnie-O’s signature laid-back sophistication.

"Joining the NFL family is a significant milestone for us," reflects John O'Donnell, founder of Johnnie-O. "As a lifelong Chicago Bears fan, it’s especially meaningful for me. We’re excited to bring a touch of our unique style to game day traditions across the country."

This partnership is timely as Johnnie-O celebrates its 20th anniversary, having originated from the launch of their iconic 4-Button Polo. Over the past two decades, the brand has created a robust identity within the lifestyle apparel sector, characterized by quality and versatility. Johnnie-O dimensions have become not just fashion staples but also a part of athletes’, celebrities’, and everyday individuals’ wardrobes across the United States.

The company’s Vice President of Licensing, Heath Hooper, emphasized the importance of sports apparel in their business model, stating, "Our licensed sports apparel is a vital part of our growth, as fans are perpetually devoted to their teams. With the addition of the NFL to our licensed products, we intend to be the leading destination for premium sports apparel year-round."

Each piece in the Johnnie-O NFL collection features thoughtful design details that blend functionality with fashion. One notable feature is their patented Tweener Button®, cleverly positioned between the second and third buttons for optimal coverage, indicative of the brand’s commitment to comfort and catering to the active lifestyle. This attention to detail allows Johnnie-O garments to transform basic wardrobe essentials into must-have items.

The expansion of the Johnnie-O brand into NFL licensed merchandise underscores its steady growth trajectory. Beyond the NFL, Johnnie-O has successfully partnered with MLB, NHL, and major golf events, including the upcoming 2025 Ryder Cup, along with licensed collections for over 200 colleges and universities.

Fans eager to elevate their game-day attire can find the Johnnie-O NFL collection available on multiple platforms including Johnnie-O's official website, NFLShop.com, and various retail outlets across the nation, including DICK'S House of Sport and Rally House.

As Johnnie-O continues to expand its horizons, it remains committed to quality and style, ensuring that every piece not only meets fans' high expectations but also becomes an integral part of their lifestyle. The refreshing blend of high-quality materials and sharp designs promises to redefine what it means to wear fan gear.
