Paris Saint-Germain has released two NFL-style jerseys ahead of the New Orleans Saints’ game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Stade de France on 25 October, ESPN reported. The shirts give PSG supporters a club-branded design tied to the first NFL game in France, an occasion the club identified as the reason for its collaboration.

Fanatics designed the jerseys in collaboration with the NFL and Nike, according to ESPN. One uses PSG’s familiar blue, red and white; the other combines maroon and gold. Both adapt the shape of an American football jersey, with a loose fit and deep V-neck. PSG’s crest remains on the shirts, alongside details referring to Paris and to the Saints.

How the jerseys connect Paris and the Saints

The number 75 refers to Paris’s French department code. A fleur-de-lis appears on the crests of both PSG and the Saints, giving the design a symbol shared by the host club and one of the visiting NFL teams. ESPN also describes monograms among the Parisian details on the shirts. Together, those elements make the jerseys specific to this game’s setting rather than simply placing PSG colours on an NFL-style cut.

The Saints and Steelers are scheduled to play at Stade de France on 25 October. PSG has presented the jersey collaboration as part of the activities around that game. For the club, the release connects its own identity with a major American football event in its home city; for NFL fans, it offers a Paris-themed design linked to the matchup.

Earlier soccer and NFL crossover jerseys

The idea has precedents. ESPN cited NFL-style Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur jerseys released in 2018 for a London NFL game. Chelsea’s version carried Eden Hazard’s name and number, while Tottenham’s used a plain white design. PSG and Barcelona also had crossover shirts that year, with Neymar and Philippe Coutinho named on their respective designs.

ESPN also listed a 2025 Inter Milan jersey released around the Club World Cup in the United States, as well as designs for Australia, England and France associated with the 2026 World Cup. The new PSG shirts use the same cross-sport format, while their number, crest and fleur-de-lis refer directly to Paris and the Saints-Steelers fixture.
