Lil Wayne will be enjoying the NFL Draft in style. He has announced a Green Bay Packers-themed capsule collection with Mitchell & Ness.
As per Hypebeast, Lil Wayne is taking his love for the green and gold to new heights. This week, the authentic sports clothing brand announced a new drop that reinterprets the Green Bay Packers’ signature logo and marks. These limited-edition pieces put a fun twist on team wearables and game day apparel. Included in the capsule is a black jersey that features high density rubber print Packers lettering, tackle-twill name, and number graphics. In terms of branding it also carries screen-printed logos on the sleeves, an embroidered NFL crest and the Lil Wayne logo on the gusset. In addition, there is also a hooded sweatshirt and T-shirt in the mix, both available in two colorways.
Lil Wayne explained why this capsule collection is important to him in a formal statement. “We had to create something that reps the G but still drips with that Tunechi flavor. It’s more than merch,” he said. “It represents legacy, loyalty and a little bit of luxury for the real ones.” Emilie Arel, president of Mitchell & Ness, also commented on why the collaboration made so much sense. “This collaboration represents the essence of Mitchell & Ness – merging one of the most talented worldwide entertainers with iconic sports franchises and bold merchandise designs” she said. “We couldn’t be more excited to launch a collection with Lil Wayne at the NFL Draft and are excited to see this relationship come to life and different points throughout the year.”
