In collaboration with each club and the NFL, Nike designers incorporated many of the unique club aspects by showcasing the vibrant culture and fan base through color. The new uniform combines current and/or historic uniform colors and designs, some of which date back to Thanksgiving 1965 when the NFL broadcasted its first game in color.
Once revealed in the Thursday Night Football game the week before their matchups, Color Rush uniforms will be on sale at various club retailers, Nike.com and on NFLShop.com.
As the official uniform supplier of the NFL, Nike provides all on-field, baselayer, sideline, and training apparel for the league’s 32 teams. For more information on Color Rush, follow @NFL using #ColorRush.
