NFL UNIFORMS TO INCLUDE INTERNATIONAL FLAIR

More than 200 NFL players, coaches and executives will recognize their heritages by wearing the flag of their nationality over the next two weeks. Players have the option to wear a decal of the flag of another country on their helmets, alongside the American flag, provided they lived there for at least two years or have a parent or grandparent born there, the league said Wednesday. Coaches and executives will wear a pin on their game-day attire. The NFL will be on the international stage the next two weeks as the Minnesota Vikings and New Orleans Saints meet Sunday in London.

The New York Giants and Green Bay Packers will square off in the same city in Week 5. More than 50 countries and territories will be represented.
