Nike’s Style Playbook for Football Season

One minute, you’re watching the first game of the season in short sleeves, sweating through a September afternoon in Athens. A few months later, you’re in the Big House, bundled against an icy wind that feels like it’s coming from the Arctic. Same logic applies to pro stadiums across the country.

We partnered up with Nike to build out your style game plan. Built for the changing weather, your geography, and the fact that football season is a marathon, not a sprint.

Assuming you’ve got the fan gear covered? Great. Your team, your rules. So we’ll focus on all the other styles you’ll need for the season.

Welcome to The Football Season Style Timeline.
