Palm -Bich, Florida. – NFL listens to his fans, his teams and players when it comes to uniform.
On Monday, at the annual meetings of the League League, she informed the owners of the NFL teams that their clubs can wear their return or alternative T -shirts up to four times in the regular season out of 17 games. This is compared with the previous three, and this means that some of the favorite fans of the uniforms, as well as previously found combinations, will be visible with greater regularity throughout the league.
Philadelphic eagles can wear their form Kelly Green for almost a quarter of the season, if they want. Buccaneers Tampa Bay can be more in creams. And Bronos may be in their return of 1977 more often.
The changes occurred just a few months after the League expanded its partnership with the manufacturer Jersey Nike in a transaction, which now extends until 2038, as well as a few years after the league began to resolve various helmets for the teams.
“We expanded our partnership with Nike, and therefore we are working on some really funny things with these guys,” said Reni Anderson, EVP and the main employee of NFL and the main income. “We think about the future, and the requests that we receive from the clubs. We wanted to make sure that we are flexible, and we hear from the clubs, in many ways this is what fans want, what players want, what the coaches want. And therefore, we wanted to ensure some flexibility, and we will continue to follow this. We will continue to receive requests, and we think about it, but we must think about all 32 when we think about making all the changes. ”
Each team has what NFL likes to call a closet. Each team has a “main” section that consists of an ordinary house and far away. Some teams have an alternative uniform (think about the color market), and then some teams have their own refunds or what in the league calls the “classic” form.
Kansas -City leaders are one of the few teams that do not have alternative or refundable shirts. Red and white-all four-time champions of the Super Cup.
Other teams, such as Panthers and Sikhox, have several different combinations of Jersey and uniforms (along with socks), which can be mixed and compared.
“This is an additional part that fans love because we find 70% of Jersey sales today, as a rule, are your main ones,” Anderson said. “But up to 30% is Alts or a classic combination, which, incidentally, they wear only a limited amount of time. Thus, they index quite high to involve fans, which is amazing. “
Players become superstitious, and sometimes, when they go to the winning series in a certain uniform, the team wants to continue to wear it. Changes in the rule give some flexibility.
The second change in the rule is that the teams can now wear their alternative pants in the play -off. Previous commands could wear pants only from the “main” section of the cabinet in the play -off.
Nevertheless, you will not see an alternative or return T -shirt in the Super Cup. The league still wants her teams to have their main view in a large game.
