Crate & Barrel has released a new NFL-themed collection featuring drinkware, serveware, aprons, and kids' chairs designed to elevate game day hosting and tailgating. The lineup includes team-specific items like coasters, beer glasses, a decanter, and a customizable kids chair, as reported by the Fort Collins Coloradoan and Salem Statesman Journal.
Crate & Barrel launches NFL collection for game day hosting
Crate & Barrel has released a new NFL collection just in time for football season, offering a range of team-themed entertaining essentials designed to elevate game day hosting and tailgating, according to reports from the Fort Collins Coloradoan and the Salem Statesman Journal.
The collection spans drinkware, serveware, aprons, and kids' chairs, with products tailored to combine fan pride with elevated style, the outlets reported. Among the items highlighted are coasters, beer can glasses, an apron, a decanter, grill tools, a charcuterie board, a cocktail shaker, a kids' lounge chair, an ice bucket, and a serving board—each featuring specific NFL team branding.
A closer look at the collection
The Fort Collins Coloradoan and Salem Statesman Journal both listed the same ten products, including the NFL Los Angeles Chargers Tondo Acacia Wood Coasters (set of four), described as having raised edges that keep drinks secure and prevent condensation from leaking onto table surfaces. The NFL Beer Can 16-Oz. Glass (also a set of four) features a clean silhouette nodding to the classic beer can container, a design the outlets said has been appearing in trendy bars and restaurants.
For grilling, the NFL Las Vegas Raiders Black Organic Cotton Kitchen Apron with Pockets offers two waist pockets for a phone or tablet and a dish towel, plus a chest pocket suited for a pen, thermometer, or clip-on timer. The NFL Los Angeles Chargers 5-Piece Stainless Steel Grill Tool Set is marketed as enabling tasks like flipping burgers, basting ribs, serving brats, and repositioning wings.
The collection also includes the NFL Pittsburgh Steelers Harvey Decanter, which one outlet described as handcrafted of sparkling, crystalline glass by skilled artisans of Krosno, a European glass collective dating back to 1923. For entertaining, the NFL Arizona Cardinals Octavia Large Wood Board with Cheese Knives is an acacia wood board suitable for finger foods and charcuterie, while the NFL Buffalo Bills Stainless Steel Boston Shaker is a two-piece shaker for combining ingredients and getting cocktails cold.
For drinks, the NFL Detroit Lions Easton Double-Walled Stainless Steel Ice Bucket is designed to keep game day drinks cold, and the NFL San Francisco 49ers Tondo Acacia Round Serving Board is described as suitable for entertaining or display. The NFL Small Cyprus Green Organic Cotton Kids Lounge Nod Chair is customizable and designed for little ones to lounge, described by one outlet as an "adorable" way to support young fans.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
