NFL players take the field wearing next-generation
innovation for athletes at the highest level.
Upon completion of the Nike / NFL contract, the Tennessee
Titans were the first team to take full innovation in the
Nike Elite 51 football uniform. The Titans design aesthetic
will stay true to years past while updating the
color-blocking in the neckline in order to accommodate the
Flywire technology to reduce weight and provide a lockdown
fit over the pads. Designed and engineered from the inside
out, the new uniform focuses on creating a system where the
baselayer, padding, jersey and pant work in concert. A few
of the new innovations include increasing sleeve
articulation for better range of motion and integrating new
four-way stretch fabrication to provide a streamlined
shrink-wrap fit.

2.0 Glove featuring the interlocking team logo on the
palms.
