In the first three episodes of this year’s “Hard Knocks,” Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been in the shadows.
He’s been in a couple of clips but never was a focal point. That will change during tonight’s episode, highlighting Goff’s recent work in the Detroit community. Goff’s brand, “J16,” has partnered with FATE Detroit, a local organization, for a capsule collection of clothing items to help benefit the nonprofit’s youth scholarship fund.
“This year, I partnered my brand, JG16, with Merit to design and sell high quality products that help kids get to college,” Goff said in a statement. “I will match 100% of the sales, dollar for dollar, and the proceeds will be used to help fund Merit’s nonprofit work in Detroit, specifically providing college scholarships for youth.”
The collection’s apparel will include hats, hoodies and t-shirts. Episode 4 of Hard Knocks, which will air at 10 p.m. Tuesday on HBO, will not only shed light on the partnership but will also feature Goff and four FATE cohorts working on the collaboration and design. Several items, such as hats and t-shirts, will feature a “Detroit Grit” wordmark, a phrase that’s grown popular recently with the Lions fanbase.
All items are now available for purchase online at https://www.jg16.store/.
