Launched in October 2015, Elite Team initiated the partnership with Cristiano Ronaldo while he was reviewing products for endorsement opportunities. Immediately impressed with the colors, quality and softness of Elite Team’s line of licensed National Football League (NFL) luxury blankets, Cristiano Ronaldo agreed to the partnership. The agreement between Elite Team and Cristiano Ronaldo was signed May 31, 2016, and includes exclusive worldwide rights to produce, distribute and market signature CR7 luxury blankets. Final terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
The CR7 luxury blanket is currently available for pre-order and comes in several designs and colors, each featuring a variation of the CR7 logo and Cristiano Ronaldo’s hulk image logo. The CR7 luxury blanket is also available in limited-edition black/pink to support breast cancer awareness and red/green in celebration of Christmas.
Each CR7 luxury blanket retails between $60-$130, not including tax and shipping, and are available in two sizes: 60” x 72” (152.4 cm x 182.88 cm) and 50” x 60” (127 cm x 152.4 cm).

“I am very excited to partner with Elite Team and launch my signature line of CR7 luxury blankets,” said Cristiano Ronaldo. “I am incredibly impressed with the level of quality and craftsmanship; it truly is the most comfortable blanket I have ever felt and complements my already established CR7 brands perfectly.”
“On behalf of Elite Team, we are thrilled to be working alongside a person as extraordinary as Cristiano Ronaldo, a world famous athlete with inspiring leadership qualities,” said Elite Team’s President and CEO Dan Sinykin. “Cris’s unique ability to transcend his success on the pitch to building his personal brand outside of soccer is redefining class and luxury. We look forward to a successful partnership.”
The CR7 luxury blanket is produced in the USA with fibers currently sourced exclusively from Cristiano Ronaldo’s home country of Portugal. The Denali® Microplush blankets provide championship durability, delivering an appealing softness and drape, while billions of air pockets created between fibers act as insulators to maintain the ideal temperature for multi-season comfort. Opposed to printed blankets, CR7 blankets are knit with dyed fibers and the exclusive CR7 brand imagery are knit right into the blanket itself, optimizing color and design quality.
