We’re only a week into the 2011 NFL season, but there’s good reason to start getting excited for next year, when Nike will take over the on-field apparel contract and finally bring Pro Combat to pro football. (Pro Combat is the name of Nike’s elite performance equipment, it does not necessarily imply the unique looks characteristic of college football’s Nike Pro Combat System of Dress, which is regularly just called “Pro Combat.”) If you’re not psyched yet, watch the video below the cut (and check out the first NFL items previewed by Nike), narrated by the most forceful speaker in the world, Michael Irvin.
