Salute to Service Apparel S-4X, XLT-4XLT by Nike
Every November, NFL sidelines turn camo for a reason. This page gathers Nike Salute to Service apparel — hoodies, tees, hats and sideline gear in team colors with military-inspired details — in sizes S to 4X, with tall cuts for the teams that carry them. Salute to Service apparel is the league’s military-appreciation collection, and the extended sizes are the hard part to find; they’re laid out by size below, men first, then the women’s range. For most fans the search starts with the Salute to Service hoodie itself — the headline piece is right below, with the rest of the Nike Salute to Service collection behind it.

Nike Salute to Service Hoodie — the Sideline Look
The hoodie in the photo is the Steelers version, and it shows what the collection looks like up close: team colors, a muted flag patch, and the military styling cues Nike builds into the line each year. Every team’s version follows the same pattern. The photo links into the full Salute to Service collection.

Salute to Service Apparel — Shop by Size
Here is the range, stated plainly: the Salute to Service line runs from S to 4X. It does not go past 4X, and this page won’t pretend otherwise. The tall cuts — XLT through 4XLT — exist for select teams only: the Bears, 49ers, Packers, Chiefs, Steelers, Eagles, Lions and Cowboys. If your team isn’t one of those eight, the regular sizes are the range; if it is, the tall links below open the collection filtered to your cut.
Fit notes from the sideline: the Nike Salute to Service hoodies are cut like team sideline gear, which means roomier through the body than a fashion hoodie — they’re made to go over layers on a cold night. A tall fan between a regular 3X and a 3XLT should take the tall cut if his team offers it; the extra length is in the body and sleeves, which is where a sized-up regular adds nothing. Hats and tees follow the same team list as the hoodies, so if your team has the hoodie in your size, the rest of its collection is usually there too.
One honest note on stock: this is a limited annual collection, and size availability fluctuates with stock levels and the season more sharply than regular team gear. Once November stock in a given size sells through, it generally doesn’t come back until next year’s release — the extended sizes and the tall cuts tend to go first. That’s why the links above open the collection filtered to your size: if your team’s hoodie is gone in your fit, you can see immediately what remains in that size across the line.
Women’s Salute to Service Apparel — Shop by Size
The women’s Salute to Service hoodies, tees and hats run on their own size list, in women’s cuts rather than smaller men’s sizes — the same teams and the same military styling as the men’s line:
Interesting Facts About Salute to Service
Salute to Service is the NFL’s military-appreciation initiative, and November is its month: around Veterans Day, teams wear the collection on the sidelines during November games, which is why the gear you see coaches and players wearing on TV is the same gear on this page. The league’s own overview of the program, its history and its partners lives at the NFL’s Salute to Service page.
The money side is the part fans ask about most, and it’s covered in the disclosure at the top of this page: the NFL donates the proceeds it receives from the collection to its military nonprofit partners — the Wounded Warrior Project, the Pat Tillman Foundation and the USO among them. The Tillman Foundation carries the name of Pat Tillman, the Cardinals safety who left the NFL to serve as an Army Ranger, and it funds scholarships for service members and their families.
Nike makes the collection, and the design language is consistent across all 32 teams: team colors as the base, with camo panels, flag patches and stencil-style details doing the military part. Because every team gets the same treatment in the same window, the collection reads as one league-wide moment rather than 32 separate product drops — which is also why it behaves like one: when it’s gone for the year, it’s gone everywhere at once.
Salute to Service Apparel — Shopper Questions
What sizes does Salute to Service apparel come in?
S through 4X for men, and S through 2X on the women’s size list linked above. The line tops out at 4X — there are no 5X or 6X Salute to Service pieces, and any page suggesting otherwise is working from an old list.
Which teams carry the tall sizes, XLT to 4XLT?
Eight of them: the Bears, 49ers, Packers, Chiefs, Steelers, Eagles, Lions and Cowboys. Tall cuts are a select-team part of the line, not a league-wide one, so fans of the other 24 teams shop the regular S to 4X range.
Is Salute to Service only hoodies?
No — hoodies are the headline piece, but the collection includes tees, hats and other sideline gear in the same team colors and military styling, and the collection link at the top of this page opens all of it together.
When should I buy — does this gear restock?
Buy in November if your size is there. It’s an annual collection built around the Veterans Day window, and once a size sells through it generally stays sold out until the next year’s release. The popular teams in 3X, 4X and the tall cuts are usually the first to thin out.
What is NFL military appreciation gear?
It’s the gear from this collection: Nike Salute to Service hoodies, tees and hats in team colors with camo panels and flag patches, made for the NFL’s military appreciation program. Teams wear it on the sidelines each November around Veterans Day, and proceeds from the line support military nonprofits — so the gear on this page is the same military appreciation apparel you see on TV, in sizes S to 4X.
Would a Salute to Service hoodie make a good gift?
For a fan with a military connection — a veteran, a service member, or a military family — it’s one of the more meaningful gifts in team gear: their team’s colors, a cause that matters to them, and proceeds that support military nonprofits. If the fan is a bigger guy, check the tall-team list above before you order; a 3XLT that actually reaches his wrists beats a regular 4X that doesn’t.
