According to CNBC, the NFL apparel deal that Nike was close to completing yesterday has been finalized. Beginning in April of 2012, the Swoosh will be the lone insignia appearing on professional football jerseys and official on-field apparel. Other brands like New Era, who will own the rights to NFL hats, also secured rights for various branding and apparel deals, but Nike remains the biggest name on the short list. Under Armour will continue to outfit NFL combine athletes. Though the rights takeover is 18 months away, don’t be surprised if Nike begins ramping up its training and football efforts further very soon.
