NFL Taps Rapper Lil Wayne to Create Limited-Edition Apparel Collection.
Lil Wayne has teamed up with the NFL and Mitchell & Ness, the legendary sports heritage brand known for its timeless craftsmanship, for a wide-ranging collaboration that will introduce a series of exclusive limited-edition apparel collections that combine Lil Wayne’s signature style and love for the NFL with Mitchell & Ness’s culture-defining aesthetic. This new collaboration coincides with the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, with a collection designed by the rapper that celebrates his life-long love of the Green Bay Packers.
“We had to create something that reps the G but still drips with that Tunechi flavor. It’s more than merch,” said Lil Wayne in a statement. “It represents legacy, loyalty and a little bit of luxury for the real ones.”
The collection will include limited edition tees, hoodies and an iconic jersey with designs inspired by Lil Wayne’s upcoming new album, “Tha Carter VI,” and the Packers legendary ‘Cheesehead’ culture, incorporating bold graphics and premium detailing that pay homage to Green Bay’s rich football heritage.
“This collaboration represents the essence of Mitchell & Ness – merging one of the most talented worldwide entertainers with iconic sports franchises and bold merchandise designs. We couldn’t be more excited to launch a collection with Lil Wayne at the NFL Draft and are excited to see this relationship come to life and different points throughout the year,” said Emilie Arel, president of Mitchell & Ness.
Additional collections and styles featuring additional NFL teams will drop throughout the year. S: Sporting News
