2011 Nike Pro Combat Uniforms - It's On

usnikefootball — Fri, 22 Jul 2011 18:21:01 GMT

Around this time of year, diehard college football fans start looking for the signs. Any indication that we're getting closer to watching college gridiron warriors trade paint on Saturdays is enough to get the heart rate accelerated. One of the more recent harbingers of Fall is the announcement of the new Nike Pro Combat uniforms for the upcoming season, and which teams will be sporting the next-generation battle gear when they storm out of the tunnel come gameday. It's a buzz that lasts from opening weekend through the National Championship game, and this year's lineup is guaranteed to bring it.

Nine teams will be rocking the new Nike Pro Combat system of dress for designated games throughout their 2011 campaign. They are:

Oregon (vs LSU, Cowboys Stadium 9/3)
Georgia & Boise State (vs each other, Georgia Dome 9/3)
Michigan State (vs Michigan 10/15)
LSU (vs Auburn, 10/22)
Ohio State (vs Wisconsin 10/29)
Stanford (vs Notre Dame 11/26)
Army & Navy (vs each other 12/10)

As is the new tradition, the Nike Pro Combat uniforms were each designed to be a tribute to the unique heritage and history of the individual college football programs. And as would be expected from Nike, they're also the pinnacle of on-field innovation from head to toe. Built to be lighter, faster, stronger and tougher than anything ever worn on the football turf at any level, the 2011 Nike Pro Combat uniforms are truly a look into the future of gameday gear and apparel. And just wait till you see how they look.

Tradition and innovation collide this Fall in the 2011 Nike Pro Combat college football uniforms. Prepare for battle.

FOOTBALL IS WORK

usnikefootball — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 23:39:31 GMT

Coverage of the pro football draft is at a high point as we near this week’s event. And while we’re seeing endless college highlights and mock draft boards, what we don’t see is all the behind-the-scenes work that these young warriors are putting in as they prepare to face their dreams. Make no mistake. Football is all about preparation. And when the season rolls around, it’ll be clear to everyone—no matter what the level— who put in the work it takes to win, and who couldn’t handle the call of greatness. Which group will you be in?

The Offseason Heats Up

usnikefootball — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 19:00:20 GMT

As the weather gets warmer, it's time to get out of the cramped gyms and sweaty weight rooms and bring your quest for a championship outside. And even though the location may change and the drills may be different, the goal remains the same: outwork your opponent every rep, every day. Have a strong week of practice.

SPEED, POWER, RESPECT.

usnikefootball — Fri, 01 Apr 2011 21:42:24 GMT

This week at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, OR., Nike is assembling a group of the top pro football players and having the workout of the offseason. Studs like Ndamukong Suh, Steven Jackson, Leon Hall, Greg Jennings and more will come to the Northwest to work with our trainers and become even faster, more agile and more powerful. The league ain't ready.

DON'T LET UP

usnikefootball — Mon, 14 Mar 2011 14:58:22 GMT

The offseason is more than twice as long as the season. And sometimes, it can feel like it. When you start to lose the motivation to keep going hard workout after workout, think about what you're laboring for. Think about the improvement, the plays, the wins and the titles. As long as you're working harder than your opponent, you're moving towards those goals and not away from them. NEVER LET UP.

TRAIN LIKE A MANIAC

usnikefootball — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 19:32:28 GMT

Nothing builds toughness on the field like going hard in the weight room. This offseason is the time to push your lifts and your attitude to the next level. If you don't back down from that extra rep on the bench or those extra two reps on the squat rack, you won't back down from that tackle trying to drive you off the ball or that LB coming hard through the gap. Remember, you play how you train. This offseason, train like a maniac.
