The two sides subsequently agreed to an eight-year extension that runs through the 2028 season. Financial terms of that deal were not disclosed.
"Nike has been a long-time and trusted partner of [the] NFL and we're thrilled to extend our relationship with them," Brian Rolapp, the NFL’s chief media and business officer said in a statement at the time. "The NFL and Nike are a powerful combination and we anticipate working closely with them on several programs, including youth and player initiatives."Nike’s partnership with the NFL has occasionally placed the company at the center of league drama. The latest instance occurred earlier this month, when Nike pulled Washington Redskins apparel from its online store amid mounting scrutiny of the team’s name, which critics argue is racist.
In 2018, Nike launched a major marketing campaign starring free agent NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick to commemorate the 30th anniversary of its “Just Do It” slogan. At the time, Kaepernick was suing NFL team owners for allegedly colluding to keep him out of the league for his role in national anthem protests.
Nike participates in a number of NFL initiatives, including the league’s annual “Salute to Service” campaign. Proceeds from sales of Nike-manufactured gear benefits a number of military charities.
Over the past week social media has been ablaze with theories and ideas regarding an orange Browns jersey that was listed for sale on the Fanatics Cleveland Browns Shop website.To get more news about custom nfl jerseys cheap for sale, you can visit custom-nfljersey.com official website.
Since releasing the redesigned uniforms last season, and sparked again by the release of the 75th anniversary jerseys, many Browns fans have been clamoring for an orange jersey to be added to the team's game day uniform rotation.
In the midst of the outcries for orange jerseys, Fanatics, a retailer offering officially licensed fan gear, had for sale a Nick Chubb orange jersey in a design fans had not seen before.Many were adamant about the jersey being a leak of a new game day uniform the Browns were planning on announcing this season, an idea which was fueled when the jerseys soon said "SOLD OUT."
But as executive vice president and member of the Browns ownership group James Wood "JW" Johnson III said on Twitter Thursday, the jerseys are not a leak and are not going to be game worn jerseys.Still, that confirmation from the top of the Browns organization was not enough for some and the conspiracies continued, with claims that Johnson was doing "damage control" and covering up a uniform leak.
So, with a little free time on our hands, we went down the Jerseygate rabbit hole (yes, I'm calling it Jerseygate) and reached out to Fanatics for more details and have some pretty boring news to report.
As Johnson confirmed, no, the jerseys were not a leak.The Nick Chubb Orange Cleveland Browns Inverted Legend jersey on the Fanatics website is a "fashion jersey" designed by Nike, a spokesperson for Fanatics clarified.
Each NFL team has a similar jersey design in their own colorway, all designed by Nike and none of them actual game day apparel.And as for the conspiracies about the product being pulled after a few days because it was a leak, that's also false. Browns fans are just so passionate about the orange jerseys that they sold out very quickly.
Don't fret though, Fanatics said that the orange jerseys that have caused such a stir online will be restocked in the coming days and weeks. You can check the inventory status here.
So, with that cleared up, Browns fans can go back to the regularly scheduled discussions about Baker Mayfield's contract extension and if rookie Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah is actually a linebacker or a safety.The Miami Dolphins drafted Jaylen Waddle in the first round of the NFL Draft a year ago, and most analysts listed his player comp as Tyreek Hill. Now, the two will be lining up together on offense. So why not celebrate with a new Miami Dolphins Tyreek Hill jersey?
Waddle came out of Alabama at 5-foot-10 and 182 lbs., which was nearly identical to Hill’s 5-foot-10, 185 lbs. frame. Hill ran the 40-yard dash in 4.29 seconds and Waddle was just behind him at 4.37 seconds.This is a special-event item. The jersey will be shipping within 2-4 weeks of Hill’s number being confirmed by Miami and the NFL.
