On Saturday, November 28, the University of Missouri football team will take the field wearing the Nike Pro Combat uniform, a new system of dress and the lightest football uniform Nike has ever created.
Missouri will be one of ten elite football programs to debut the Nike Pro Combat uniform this month before they are officially introduced at the start of the 2010 season.
Missouri is joined by Clemson, Florida, Florida State, LSU, Miami, Virginia Tech, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Texas and TCU as the schools debuting the Nike Pro Combat uniform this month.
Nike designed the Nike Pro Combat uniform to address the evolution of the game: today's players are stronger and faster and the collisions are more violent and explosive than ever before.
Nike also worked with coaches and administrators at Missouri to bring inspiration to the Nike Pro Combat uniforms that the Tigers will wear on November 28th.
