Adaptive and assisted clothing designed specifically for people with disabilities is now available for all 32 teams of the NFL. This special collection features hoodies and T-shirts, giving fans the chance to wear the team of their choice.

Assisted and adaptive clothing is designed specifically for people with disabilities that make it difficult to dress independently, or those with sensory issues who may be sensitive to certain textures or materials.  The adaptive gear is created with features such as wider neck openings, zipper seams and magnetic fasteners to make it easier for fans with disabilities to dress themselves.  Button up the back features on the assisted gear allows the wearer to put it on and  then have the caregiver fasten the item.

The NFL’s collection offers short and long-sleeve T-shirts and pullover hoodies. Long sleeve shirts feature magnetic snaps at the shoulders to comfortably pull tops overhead while it still resembles traditional seams.  The short sleeve style is similarly designed.

In addition, other adaptive gear includes adaptive bungees and extended adaptive zippers for fans with a limited range of motion.  The adaptive pullover hoodies have a zipper at the left side seam that expands the bottom hem when dressing.

The quality is the same high quality and construction, material and graphics as other NFL clothing. All of the adaptive and assisted items are officially licensed.

Fans with disabilities enjoy wearing your favorite NFL team shirts while attending and/or watching the games!
