The Official NFL Salute to Service Collection is Now Available on Fanatics
Consider camo to be the new team color.

A case can be made that no league has shown the sheer amount of gratitude, respect, and reverence for active and former duty servicemembers on the level that the NFL does. Since 2011, the NFL has raised over $66 million through its annual Salute to Service campaign in support of The Pat Tillman Foundation (PTF), Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors (TAPS), United Service Organizations (USO), Bob Woodruff Foundation (BWF), and Wounded Warrior Project (WWP).
Taking place annually during weeks 10-12, the NFL leverages its platform, visibility, and overall popularity by designating one home game for each of the 32 teams as a Salute to Service game where military members and their families are honored during in-game ceremonies. Additionally, on-field equipment is customized in Salute to Service branding including field stencils, banners, gold post wraps, game balls, and Nike merchandise. For fans looking to gear up for a good cause, the proceeds from every order from the military-inspired collection are donated directly to the charitable organizations listed above. With this year’s batch ready and raring to go, we’ve gone ahead and identified some of this season's favorites, now on Fanatics and GOVX-ID enabled.

So maybe the Phillies came up a little short in their quest to bring a ‘ship to The City of Brotherly Love, but the good news is you still have the Birds. Swap out the Kelly green for the beige and brown and unleash an all-new look. From the sleek American flag emblazoned on the side arm to the Eagles nameplate on the back, an appreciation for those who’ve served – and those who put in the work every Sunday is on full display.
With a look this solid, you might as well be calling the shots from the sidelines. Showcasing America’s Team in all their glory, this light and easy layer let you rep your team authentically at the game or around town. With the flag strategically placed across the chest, there’s no question where your allegiance lies. As it should be.
When you’re a 2-time Super Bowl champion and one of the faces of the league, you get on our list. Plain and simple. The GOAT in training comes correct with a strong addition to any jersey collection. Highlighted by the military stencil lettering and grainy number font, this is one that should easily move up your depth list. Whether you’re a frequent visitor to Arrowhead Stadium or not.
It doesn’t take an overly active imagination to picture an American of service sporting this cap on the range or during hunting season. In fact, the epic 49ers brand is so well represented here that we’re almost willing to forget that they now play over 60 klicks away from San Fran. Nevertheless, this is meant to be worn with confidence and pride.
Not every guy is a jersey guy. The fact is, we’re not all physically gifted enough to pull off the gameday staple without feeling just a little bit inadequate. That’s why the shirsey (shirt jersey) is so important. For the Saints edition of the Salute to Service collection, we’re going with the Alvin Kamara special. There’s just something about the way the fleur-de-lis is positioned that really gives it its own distinct feel.
Are man caves still a thing? Well, regardless of whether you have dedicated room for all your sports stuff or not, this limited-edition mini helmet would look pretty sweet in your collection. Quality-made with the unmistakable Salute to Service ribbon on the side, this official headgear is a must for any fan of the latest incarnation of Al Davis’ team.
