With the upcoming Super Bowl between the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens just days away, Nike has released photos of the uniforms players will be sporting in the biggest sporting event of the year.
The uniforms are basically the same to the ones both teams have been wearing all year, but there's a new nifty Super Bowl XLVII patch that's been added.
Nike's public relation people released a rather lengthy explanation to the new "Elite 51" technology that Nike introduced when it started manufacturing the league's uniforms at the beginning of the season.
Here's what Nike had posted on NikeInc.com:
"Both team uniforms feature full Nike Elite 51 innovation including Flywire technology in the neckline to reduce weight and provide a lockdown fit over the pads. These revolutionary uniforms are engineered and purposefully constructed with every element built for speed. From head-to-toe and inside-out, the uniform components are constructed to work in concert with each other - from the jersey, pant, baselayer and padding all the way down to the the sock and cleat. Additional innovation includes increased sleeve articulation for better range of motion as well as four-way stretch fabrication to provide a streamlined shrink-wrap fit."
The full, integrated uniform system also features strategically placed seams, pads and cooling zones that help minimize distraction and optimize protective coverage. Padding without the bulk offers optimal low-profile impact protection, specifically throughout the crucial "hit zone" between the knees and shoulders.
