Ninja and TimTheTatman Show Off Early Look of Fortnite NFL Football Skins

The latest major collaboration in the world of video games has seen Epic Games and the National Football League or NFL partner together to bring skins for all 32 NFL football teams, a new football glider, harvesting tools and NFL football emotes to Fortnite for players to use. The NFL Football skins and other cosmetic items will not be available for the Fortnite community to collect until Friday, November 9th. However, popular Twitch streamers Tyler "Ninja" Belvins and TimTheTatMan have gotten early access to use the new NFL football skins and have shown off what they look like in-game for their tens of thousands of viewers today. 

With Ninja being a very vocal fan of the Detroit Lions of the NFL, it is not surprising to see Ninja rock the Detroit Lions skin on his Twitch stream today. You can check out how the Lions Fortnite skin looks in action below where Ninja is able to knock out two opponents in an intense fight in Tilted Towers.

One of the biggest draws of the new skins is the massive amount of customization that each one gives to players, as anyone who purchases one of the skin variations will be able to pick any of the 32 teams and have any number from 1-99 on the new Fortnite skin uniform. While waiting to begin another match, TimTheTatMan gave his audience a glimpse into how the customization for the new cosmetic items works.
