After NFL objected to Myles Garrett's sideline apparel, Garrett kept it simple on Sunday

Myles Garrett faced a rare sideline apparel clash with the NFL after wearing a Nike Jumpman tracksuit during last week’s game against the Bills, which the league deemed a gray-area violation. Though the league initially raised concerns—avoiding a fine but signaling disapproval—Garrett sidestepped the issue entirely on Sunday, opting for plain white and gray attire without any logos.

The incident highlights the league’s evolving stance on sideline apparel, where warnings may precede penalties, particularly when player-issued gear is involved. With Nike as the NFL’s official apparel partner, Garrett’s choice to wear non-team-branded clothing underscores broader questions about player marketing of licensed merchandise they’ve already been provided.

This week’s decision to keep it simple reflects a pragmatic approach, avoiding further scrutiny while the league and players’ union continue to define boundaries in this area.
