Lil Wayne’s NFL apparel is about to take centre stage in Green Bay this spring, and if you thought your game-day wardrobe was set, think again.
The NFL and Mitchell & Ness have teamed up with multi-platinum icon Lil Wayne to drop a series of limited-edition collections, starting with an ode to Cheesehead royalty at the 2025 NFL Draft.
A Tailgate Taste of Tunechi
Step onto the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field in April, and you’d swear winter never left Wisconsin. In that bone-chilling air, fans wrapped in mustard-and-forest-green gear will now spot tees and hoodies dripping with “Tunechi flavour.”
“We had to create something that reps the G but still drips with that Tunechi flavor. It’s more than merch,” said Lil Wayne.
“It represents legacy, loyalty and a little bit of luxury for the real ones.” This is more than a nod to Packers lore—it’s a full-on cultural mash-up.
Heritage Meets Hip-Hop
Since the dawn of NFL fandom, nothing says “I bleed green and gold” quite like a Cheesehead hat. But what happens when you stitch in Lil Wayne’s flamboyant flair and Mitchell & Ness’s heritage craftsmanship?
You get an exclusive Lil Wayne NFL apparel line that feels as at home in the VIP tent as it does on the 50-yard line. Each piece—from premium jerseys embossed with lyrical Easter eggs inspired by “Tha Carter VI” to hoodies that marry bold graphics with buttery-soft fabrics—is designed to celebrate both football’s fiercest franchise and hip-hop’s fiercest trendsetter.
What to Expect at the Draft
When the first round whistle blows in Green Bay, look for:
- Limited-edition tees emblazoned with Lil Wayne’s custom logos.
- Premium hoodies featuring nods to “Cheesehead” culture and Carter-era iconography.
- An iconic jersey merging Packers green with gold threading and album-inspired motifs.
Fans who’ve camped out since midnight at the NFL Draft will be first in line, and those who can’t make the trek can snag drops online at MitchellandNess.com, Fanatics.com, NFLShop.com, plus select team stores and stadium shops.
