In addition to changing the font and putting a patch that says “Jags” over the heart, a tribute to Jacksonville having the third-largest military training grounds in the United States, the team also is unveiling a new logo and a new-look helmet.
“This a jaguar on the hunt,” Todd Van Horne, Nike’s vice president and creative director for football, said of the team’s new look.
Nike is also offering players an integrated system of dress that also includes a new sock design and shoes, for those players that have Nike deals. The company says that its new apparel that goes under the uniform is lighter and stronger.
“These uniforms balance our tradition with the future” team owner Shahid Khan said in a statement. “The military-style badge on the front of the jersey speaks directly to the strong relationship we have with our hometown of Jacksonville. These new uniforms leave no doubt about our brand essence of being proud, bold and committed.”
This is the second overhaul that Nike has made since it started its five-year deal as the official apparel supplier of the league last year. The Seattle Seahawks were the only team to have a new look in the first year of the relationship.
The new jerseys will be available to fans this Thursday online and Friday in select retail locations.
