It is constructed for an accurate body-contoured fit that minimizes distractions and allows players to focus on speed and performance. The [NFL Nike Elite 51 uniform](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/todd-snyder-nfl-collection) makes use of a system wherein the baselayer, padding, jersey and pants work together as a unit. The sleeves are articulated to allow for an enhanced range of motion, while four-way stretch fabrication offers a streamlined fit.
