While American football and European football considerably differ in terms of rules, culture, and international reputation, they surprisingly share several commonalities. Both are ball sports, garner huge worldwide fan bases, and have a profound link to fashion, whether on the field or off it.
Now, those two worlds are set to collide once again, with help from Nike.
As per images leaked by sneaker insider Romeo on X, Nike is collaborating with the National Football League (NFL) and several prominent European football clubs to develop uniquely styled American Football jerseys.
The revealed jersey designs are for Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and Atlético Madrid, showcasing white foundations, large numbers on both the front and back, v-neck collars adorned with the NFL logo, and the club logos positioned on the sleeves.
Footy Headlines reveal the collaboration is part of the build-up to the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which kicks off on June 11, 2026, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
The collection is expected to drop soon, though it remains unclear whether additional clubs will be involved.

This isn’t the first time Nike has crossed these sporting streams. Back in 2018, the brand released a similar American Football-inspired range for Chelsea, PSG, Barcelona, and Tottenham Hotspur – though those shirts notably lacked the official NFL branding.
Interestingly, Tottenham, whose stadium now serves as the de facto home of the NFL London Games, has not featured in the current round of leaked designs.
But with a European trophy now proudly added to their cabinet, Spurs fans probably won’t be losing any sleep over fashion collabs.
