NFL Responds to Josh Jacobs’ Claims About Packers and Eagles’ Uniforms in Brazil
The NFL has responded to Josh Jacobs’ recent comments about the Packers and Eagles not being allowed to wear green during their Week 1 game in Brazil. Jacobs stated that the teams were told not to wear green due to gang affiliations in the area. However, the NFL has clarified that this is not the case.
The NFL is set to take its game to Brazil for the first time.
According to an NFL spokesman, fans and players will be allowed to wear green during the game. The game will be played at Corinthians Arena, which is home to the Brazilian soccer team Corinthians. There is an informal ban on wearing green at the arena due to a rivalry with Palmeiras, who wear green. However, this ban is not expected to be an issue for the NFL game.

Jacobs also mentioned that players were told not to wear green in public to avoid being mistaken for Palmeiras fans. However, this is not a concern for the game itself.

Soccer is a beloved sport in Brazil, and the NFL is set to bring American football to the country.
In the end, it seems that Jacobs’ concerns about the game were unfounded. The Packers and Eagles will be able to wear their green uniforms, and fans will be able to cheer them on in style.
