The second NFL game of the 2024 season takes place Friday, between the Green Bay Packers and the Philadelphia Eagles. But it will look a bit different -- literally -- as neither team will be allowed to wear the color green.
Yes, you read that right.
That's because Brazilian soccer club Corinthians -- the team turning NeoQuimica Arena in San Paolo for the first NFL game to be played in South America -- dislikes anything green so much that its executives tried to paint the field black about a decade ago.
Players can be fined if they are spotted wearing clothes or shoes of that color, and sponsors need to adapt if they want to be associated with a club that has more than 35 million fans.
