Nike admits new NFL jerseys were inspired by The Hunger Games

Nike's unveiling of their new NFL-inspired jerseys earlier today was met with much excitement around the league as players took to twitter to voice their opinions. "They look the same, i'm excited" tweeted Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher. Nike, however, has been quick to point out that the new jerseys are in fact not the same as before, and were indeed inspired by the recent novel turned movie, The Hunger Games. "We wanted the jerseys to have a sort of, sexy survival and death kind of look". "After the popularity of the Twilight Saga and now The Hunger Games, it was an opportunity we couldn't afford to miss" added Nike CEO Phil Knight, who is a self-proclaimed fan of all tween romance novels. "We really missed the boat with Twilight and the designing of our new soccer jerseys so we weren't going to let this one slip through our hands!" said Knight. When told about Nike's inspiration for their new NFL jerseys, Detroit Lions defensive lineman Ndamukong Suh replied, "The jerseys were designed after a restaurant!?"
