"Nike has a rich history with football, and we’re excited to partner with the NFL on this new Rivalries program to help grow the sport and expand it for the next generation,” Ryan Airhart, Director, NFL Apparel Product Design at Nike said
last year. “Each uniform was designed in collaboration with the club it represents to authentically reflect what makes their team, fans and communities wholly unique."
The NFL introduced these new Rivalries uniforms last season, where the AFC North and NFC West each donned them for a respective divisional game.
