So, I’ve been seeing a lot of NFL players and coaches wearing these brown hoodies lately, and I got curious. I mean, it’s November, and you’d think they’d be in team colors or something, right? So, I started digging around to find out what was up.
First, I noticed these hoodies weren’t just brown, they had this kind of camouflage print on them. That got me thinking it might be some sort of special event or something. So, I hit up the internet and started searching.
Turns out, the NFL has this thing called “Salute to Service” every November. It’s a whole deal they do around Veterans Day to honor the U.S. military. Makes sense with the camo print, huh? I also found out that the NFL has some pretty strict rules about what players can and can’t wear on the field. Like, apparently, they made a new rule in 2016 that says players can’t wear hoodies during games. Sounds kinda, random, but hey, the NFL has their own rules.

And get this, there was a player, who said he wasn’t trying to make a fashion statement or anything by wearing a hoodie. He just said he was warm when he went out for warmups. Simple as that!
Then I started looking at where you could actually buy these hoodies. I found a bunch of different places selling them. Some websites had these “officially licensed” NFL hoodies, specifically for the Cleveland Browns, but I’m sure there are others for different teams too. You can find them at places like those big sporting goods stores, even Nike has some, and there are a ton of them online, like on the big marketplaces. They come in all sorts of styles too, like zip-up or pullover.
- Searched online: Looked up why NFL folks were wearing brown hoodies.
- Found “Salute to Service”: Discovered it’s an NFL initiative for the military.
- Learned about uniform rules: Read about the NFL’s no-hoodie rule during games.
- Checked out stores: Found places where you can buy these hoodies.
- Saw different styles: Noticed they come in zip-up, pullover, etc.
So, yeah, that’s the whole story behind those brown hoodies. It’s not just some random fashion choice, it’s a way for the NFL to show their support for the military. And even though players can’t wear them during games, they’re out there, and you can snag one for yourself if you want. Mystery solved!
