The 2015 Pro Bowl takes place Sunday, January 25, at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, AZ, a meeting of the NFL’s best players (less the Patriots and Seahawks). For the second year in a row, the game will forgo conference affiliations in favor of a “fantasy football for real” format, which sees players, coaches and fans vote a pool of players into the game, and then team captains Michael Irvin and Cris Carter draft their own squads from that pool, regardless of conference.
Continuing the uniform palettes that were established in last year’s game, Team Irvin will wear anthracite jerseys and white pants, with silver numbers and pops of orange vibrantly attracting the eye.
Team Carter, meanwhile, will compete in a white jersey with grey shoulders that match with grey pants. Silver covers the numbers again, while volt starkly contrasts on the socks, gloves, number-outlines and player-names.
Each player on both teams will also feature stars on their nameplates, one for each Pro Bowl selection.
The 2015 Pro Bowl uniforms are of the Nike Elite 51 variety, Nike’s most technologically-advanced uniform system to date, predicated on minimal feel and optimal ventilation, with lightweight padding integrated directly into the “hit zones” of the baselayer, Flywire in the neckline to lockdown the jersey over the pads, and better range of motion provided by redesigned sleeves.
