Lil Wayne Teams up With NFL and Mitchell & Ness For Football-Inspired Collaboration
Taking design notes from the Green Bay Packers and his own ‘Tha Carter VI’ album.
Lil Wayne is gearing up for the release of his new album The Carter VI with the release of a new capsule collaboration with the NFL and Mitchell & Ness inspired by football.
With sports heritage in mind, the collaboration features an exclusive limited-edition apparel collection that blends Lil Wayne’s signature style and love for the NFL all in one. Kicking of the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay this year, Weezy designs a selection of limited edition tees, hoodies and iconic jerseys that feature a nod to his new album as well as the Packers legendary “Cheesehead” culture motifs. A long-time Packers fan, Weezy’s collection features bold graphics and premium detailing that pay homage to the Greeen Bay heritage.
Lil Wayne said of his new collaboration, “We had to create something that reps the G but still drips with that Tunechi flavor. It’s more than merch.” He added, “It represents legacy, loyalty and a little bit of luxury for the real ones.” Emilie Arel, president of Mitchell & Ness said, “This collaboration represents the essence of Mitchell & Ness – merging one of the most talented worldwide entertainers with iconic sports franchises and bold merchandise designs. We couldn’t be more excited to launch a collection with Lil Wayne at the NFL Draft and are excited to see this relationship come to life and different points throughout the year.”
The collection drops on today.
