Colin Kaepernick Is The New Face Of Nike
ESPN has reported that ex-NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick has been named the face of Nike's 'Just Do It' campaign's 30th anniversary. SportsCenter has added that Nike had signed Kaepernick on in 2011 but hadn't used him publically until now. Just three days prior to the 2018 NFL season's opening game, Nike has generated a tonne of buzz surrounding the choice, especially considering they are an NFL corporate sponsor and provide the official jerseys for the league.
