Section 2(a)
Player Attire

(a)

Neither the NFL nor any of the Clubs may have any rule prohibiting or limiting the type of footwear or gloves which may be worn by players on the field, except to the extent such rules or limitations are based on safety or competitive considerations as determined by the NFL; the parties reserve their respective positions on whether the NFL or any of the Clubs may have any such rule relating solely to image considerations. The foregoing notwithstanding, the NFL and Clubs shall have the right to regulate any third party branding or other commercial identification that may appear on any footwear or gloves worn by players on the field or its environs on game days and/or at any Club’s official mandatory minicamp(s), official preseason training camp, and all Club practice sessions.
