'Fortnite' NFL Skins: How to Represent Your Team on the Battle Bus
Epic Games just announced a new collaboration with the NFL, which will give players a chance to wear their favorite team's uniforms in Fortnite later this week. All 30 teams in the National Football League can be worn with just one skin, including an additional Fortnite -exclusive team. You can also choose a number from 0 to 99 to wear on the back of your jersey. This isn't the first major collab for the battle royale: Thanos appeared in the game to advertise Avengers: Infinity War .

Over the past year, pro athletes have developed a fondness for Fortnite dances. Whether it's "take the L" or the infamous "flossing," you can find athletes doing wacky Fortnite -inspired dances all over the world. In September, the Indianapolis Colts' Nyheim Hines broke into the "Orange Justice" dance after completing the first touchdown of his pro career.
How to Get Fortnite NFL Skins
On Nov. 9, players can purchase an exclusive NFL skin in the Item Shop. The skin will be available at 7 p.m. EDT. when the shop updates. The NFL collab still isn't in the game's code, so it's currently unclear how much the skin is going to cost. (Don't be surprised if you'll have to spend 2,000 V-Bucks on a Legendary skin.) Once you buy any of the skins, you'll be able to pick one team to wear with you into the game by selecting the skin in the Locker and dropping down the team's menu. You aren't locked into a single team when you buy, which is going to make these skins super popular.
