Thread: American football.

  1. #1

    American football.

    I’m not hugely into it, but I watch the highlights programme on BBC each week - my question is, why have so many members the various coaching staffs taken to wearing camouflage gear lately?

    The gear can't be much good if you can see them.

    They don't want Jimmy the Jock seeing them celebrating

    I’d presumed it was something to do with 11 November

    It's an annual event associated with Veteran's Day. Basically a salute to service personnel past and present.

    It’s to do with the salute to service charity, all the money from the merchandise sold goes to the charity, they do it for a couple of weeks around this time of year.

    The "Salute to service". Seems like it's a big thing in October but goes on all year.

    Thanks for the replies, I was hoping I could go off on one about Americans going well over the top again, but it's being done in a good cause isn't it.

    I think the sentiment behind the change of outfits is laudable but the outfits themselves are rank IMHO. And the NFL are now promoting several every year by changing uniforms/outfits.
