NFL INTERNATIONAL, PEANUTS WORLDWIDE, NEW ERA AND EXIM REPRESENTACIONES MEXICO JOIN FORCES FOR THE NFL’S 100TH ANNIVERSARY

New York, NY (November 15, 2019) – Peanuts Worldwide, Exim Representaciones Mexico, NFL International, and New Era have come together for a brand new collaboration to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the NFL.

New Era will launch a line of Peanuts t-shirts, caps, hoodies, crewnecks and beanies during the 2019 NFL season. The first launch of caps is set to hit the market on November 18th for NFL International’s Game Day where the Los Angeles Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs will play at Azteca Stadium in Mexico City. Snoopy and Charlie Brown will be present at Game Day festivities for a meet and greet with fans. A global rollout of the collection will follow via New Era Stores, ne.com, lifestyle, specialty, sporting goods and department stores around the world (excluding the USA). The collaboration comes as the NFL celebrates its 100th anniversary and Peanuts gears up for an anniversary of its own – the comic strip will turn 70 in 2020.

“A love of sports is embedded into the Peanuts comic strip, and Charlie Brown’s persistent dream of kicking Lucy’s football is a deeply ingrained part of the brand,” said Carla Neves, Senior Director, International Territory Management, Latin America for Peanuts Worldwide. “Bringing our brand together with two other sports icons: the NFL International and New Era, is an incredible initiative in one of our key markets in Latin America.”
