NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: ‘Good Morning America’ star Michael Strahan continues to expedite his business opportunities away from the morning show and recently landed himself a styling gig for the University of Colorado football team.
The ‘GMA’ host is always on the lookout for new business ventures and it seems that he’s found one in a field that he made his career in.
The ex-NFL star was requested by Deion Sanders, nicknamed Coach Prime, to style the University of Colorado football team.
Strahan obliged and provided stylish suits for the entire team through his menswear line.
‘GMA’ host Michael Strahan's business opportunity with University of Colorado football team
Coach Prime is taking his job seriously and has decided to teach the players of the team how to stand out by making bold fashion statements as well.
He’s not only focused on making them more skilled or better players but also on allowing them more freedom by letting them express themselves through their attire.
For this, he enlisted Strahan’s help and the host jumped at the opportunity of styling the team and providing them with suits from Michael's Men's Wearhouse line, as reported by GQ magazine.
The magazine confirmed that Coach Prime personally picked the details of each suit, ensuring that there were no goof-ups and everything was up to his liking and standards.
The suits are Colorado gold, one of the official colors of the university, with black lining. They also have the Buffaloes logo along with the name of each individual player stitched inside the jacket.
Apart from this, the jacket lining is reportedly adorned with his new catch phrase, "I believe," written in all caps along with the addition of Strahan’s logo.
Coach Prime thanked Strahan for all his help and said, “Working with Strahan and his team on these custom suits has been a tremendous blessing for our program.”
Strahan also expressed his admiration for the team, especially Coach Prime. He told GQ, “I was excited because I loved what he was doing with his team.”
He added, “Not just pushing them to be their best on the field but also off. Coach Prime and I have been friends for a long time, so I know he’s authentic in his actions, and my partner, Constance Schwartz-Morini, and I wanted to support that. Our immediate reaction was, ‘Absolutely, we’re in.”
Michael Strahan missed ‘GMA’ very often in August 2023
During August, Strahan took leave from the morning show for nearly two weeks to accommodate his other business ventures.
He was also away fulfilling his duties as a father when he dropped Isabella and Sophia to their respective colleges and later played host at ‘The $100,000 Pyramid.’
Earlier, Strahan also posted about a documentary named ‘BS High’ that his company SMAC Entertainment had produced for HBO.
Although, Strahan is back at the studio desk on ‘GMA’, it’s uncertain how long it will be until he takes his next leave of absence from the show.
