The Nike Pro Combat Revolution: The Future of Football

Tue, 24 Nov 2009 20:38:54 +0000

Many of you might have been suprised when you turned on your televisions this past weekend to see teams like Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Florida State in some rather bizzare uniforms. All three teams have pretty traditional uniforms, so many fans were caught of guard. Not to worry folks, those uniforms are not replacing your favorite classic look. But, those uniforms are the future of football. These strange uniform appearances are the result of Nike's System of Dress program, which is revolutionizing the way football, as well as basketball, is dressed. The football division of the System of Dress, or SoD program, is the Nike Pro Combat line. For this season Nike has selected a group of Nike outfitted teams to show off their latest template.
