NFL and Nike Launch Year Two Rivalries Collection With Eight Teams

The retail drop broadens beyond game jerseys into footwear and outerwear to boost local fan engagement and merchandise sales.

Overview

  • The Rivalries collection went on sale Sept. 1, 2026, through Nike, the NFL Shop, Fanatics and select retailers.
  • Year two covers eight teams: the NFC North (Bears, Lions, Packers, Vikings) and the AFC South (Texans, Colts, Jaguars, Titans).
  • Under program rules each Rivalries uniform may be worn only once per season and only at a home game against a division opponent, with Jacksonville slated to debut its Rivalries look in Week 8 against the Colts.
  • The drop expands beyond jerseys to include team-themed footwear and outerwear and highlights local design cues such as Jacksonville’s 'DUUUVAL' collar and '904' area-code, throwback Packers elements, and a Vikings jersey tied to Randy Moss.
  • Following last year’s record Fanatics sales, the second-year rollout aims to increase merchandise revenue and retail reach while also using regionally focused marketing and occasional geographic limits on availability.
