In North America, the word “football” evokes images of touchdowns, tailgates, and Sunday traditions. Globally, it stands for a sport filled with goals, chants, and team crests. Now, these two football worlds intersect in an exciting new collection that’s catching everyone’s eye.
The collaboration between Fanatics and the NFL has birthed the ‘Football x Football’ Collection, featuring a series of limited-edition jerseys that reinterpret each NFL team through the iconic style of classic soccer kits.
All 32 jerseys embrace the aesthetics associated with soccer worldwide – picture vintage collars, World Cup-era patterns, and typography more akin to Maracanã than MetLife. Yet, every jersey remains deeply tied to its distinct NFL team identity.
To ensure that balance felt authentic, Fanatics brought together a global design crew from Europe, South America, and the U.S., blending vintage football iconography with each NFL franchise’s colours, legacy, and fan culture.
These aren’t your typical fan tops. They’re part throwback, part concept kit, and full-on collector bait.
The collection was exclusively available between June 20 and June 22 at Fanatics Fest NYC, running at the Javits Center in Hell’s Kitchen, Manhattan – if you were there, you’ve undoubtedly got your hands on something special.
