Fortnite Is Teaming Up With The NFL To Bring Customisable Team Outfits To The Game

Well can't argue with that. It's not a bad idea.

I don't care for the NFL or any sports really, but I know many do, so good on them.

Imma be out here as soon as it comes out with my Jerry Rice #80 SF 49ers jersey

Whelp... not surprised, but am surprised it took this long.

Hey I mean they know their audience

There are no words to describe how disgusting Fortnite is to me.

You know this is probably the closest madden Is to getting on Switch

The "I hate Fortnite" comments on NL is almost as predictable as the physical release or Panic button commenters.
Say something new.

@MaxlRoseGNR Funny thing is Epic couldn’t careless how you feel about their game.

@AxeltheBuizel Quick! To the Playground mode!!

This is neat, will get a couple for my kids definitely!

@geordie I agree!!!!

I'd rather have Madden on Switch.

i love sport skins but I have my football one already and I just got the Los Muertos set with my saved STW v bucks so I likely won’t be buying any future skins for a while as I’m completely in love with that set

Totally unrelated but since it's another fortnite article on NL. When are you going to switch to https instead of http. Chrome is complaining.

Actually end me, that trailer was terrifying to look at

@Nintendoforlife but you care?

I will probably not be taking advantage of this. As in real life, I'm too embarrassed to be running around in Jets gear, haha

@RickRau5 No, I just thought it was funny that Epic doesn't care as my post stated.

Am I the only one who looks at the stuff in the shop and thinks “this outfit is $15! $20?!!” I have a hard time getting behind buying stuff with vbucks when I know an outfit is 1/3 price of a full game.

Cash grab. I wonder if even NFL fans really think this would be worth spending actual money on.

Epic games + the NFL. Even Simon Belmont and his supply of holy water couldn’t cleanse the stench of greed and evil wherever this unholy unity was made.

@Mamabear I base it depending on how many hours you're gonna sink into the game and use that skin. Avid players can easily spend upwards of 300 hours in multiplayer games (and that's even on the low end), so I'd think that paying for cosmetics you'd use in even just a fifth of those hours is reasonable if you're really into said MP game as well as whatever team you're supporting.

The NFL's trying to market its way to other media. They've been seeing a decline in viewership since 2016, so what better way to ensure the viability of their huge business by tapping into the next generation of kids who play Fortnite?

Honestly, though, the NFL will still be viable for many more years even without this. It's the leagues like NASCAR who should've tried doing this to maintain awareness of their product.

@Nintendoforlife right. ..
