The NFL and Nike today unveiled the bright, boldly-colored uniforms that teams will be donning for Thursday Night Football. The Color Rush uniforms will be used by all 32 teams in the NFL.
The program was launched in 2015 with eight teams and brings pops of color to the football field. According to Nike’s press release, the inspiration for the uniform designs come from past and current uniforms and celebrate “each club’s distinctive identity.”

The press release goes on to say, “One hundred percent of the NFL’s proceeds from the sale of Color Rush jerseys will go directly to the NFL Foundation to fund health, safety and wellness programs for youth around the country.” The first $500,000 raised will go towards replacing football equipment lost in last month’s Lousiana floods.
The relesase includes updated colors for some teams, who last year encountered some controversy. Other teams will also wear different colors during certain weeks to avoid conflicts.
