Over the years, the NFL has become more flexible with what footwear it allows players to wear.
Currently, the rules state that cleats can either be black, white, or a team colour. The only exception to this rule is the NFL’s Crucial Catch initiative, which states that, during weeks four through six of the football season, the players are allowed to wear custom rainbow apparel to support cancer research as a whole, instead of the typical pink apparel for just breast cancer awareness.
