5 things Cristiano Ronaldo could do post-retirement

#2 Push his CR7 fashion label

Cristiano Ronaldo Launches CR7 FW15 Collection — Ronaldo could push his CR7 fashion label after retirement

Despite some questionable choices in dressing over the years (his disgustingly short shorts come to mind....) Ronaldo has somehow become known as a fashion icon in the world of sports and beyond, and his look is one that’s been copied by young men all around the world wishing to look like the Portuguese star. So it’s no surprise that – following in the footsteps of a fellow Manchester United and Real Madrid legend in David Beckham – that Ronaldo has branched off into the world of fashion.

Ronaldo opened his first ‘CR7’ fashion boutique on the Portuguese island of Madeira – his birthplace – back in 2006, and followed by opening a second boutique in Lisbon in 2008. Since then he’s released his own line of underwear, socks, and shirts – all modelled by the man himself of course – and then branched into the world of fragrance, releasing ‘Cristiano Ronaldo Legacy’ in partnership with Eden Parfums in 2015.

After retirement, then, surely it makes sense for Ronaldo to focus on his fashion label. After all, David Beckham has made tremendous business out of his own fashion and fragrance line, particularly since stepping away from the game, but for Ronaldo there’s perhaps even more of an opportunity as his fame in non-English speaking countries arguably outstrips even Beckham’s. Why not design and release a line of jeans, gym training gear, or even branch out into a range of women’s clothing? If it has the CR7 brand, his legions of fans are likely to buy it.
