[UPDATE] The NFL jersey skins in Fortnite have been removed from the in-game store. If you bought one, you can keep using it, but Epic is no longer selling them. Whether or not they ever return remains to be seen. Keep checking back with GameSpot for the latest. [UPDATE END]
Fortnite only just introduced officially licensed NFL jersey skins last week, but they are leaving the in-game store very soon, developer Epic Games has announced.
You have just about an hour left to grab the jerseys, as they leave the store tonight (November 13). They leave the store at 8 PM EST / 5 PM PST.
You can buy jerseys for all 32 NFL teams, and then customise it with any number from 0-99. The jerseys costs 1,500 V-Bucks, which works out to around $15. Within the jerseys category, you can select variants including Strong Guard, End Zone, Gridiron, and Spike as a unique style.
In addition to the jerseys, you can buy various football-related extras such as the Whistle Warrior outfit (800 V-Bucks), the Striped Soldier outfit (800 V-Bucks), the Upright axe (800 V-Bucks), the Golden Pigskin axe (500 V-Bucks) the First Downer axe (500 V-Bucks), the Touchdown glider (500 V-Bucks)
The deal between the NFL and Epic was probably a lucrative one, but it’s not exactly the best look. You can find numerous examples on social media of people creating representations of controversial NFL figures like Michael Vick with a dog on his back and Aaron Hernandez pointing a gun. It’s not clear if Epic is removing the NFL jersey skins because of this; it’s possible Epic and the NFL had a one-week deal. We also don’t know if the jerseys will ever return. Whatever the case, now is your last chance–for now at least–to run around Fortnite in an NFL jersey.
