Suit Up for Kickoff: Chubbies NFL Gear for the Win
Like a kickoff cutting the September sky, this Chubbies NFL collection brings stadium energy to every pool and patio. While most team merch tends to be drab and corporate, Chubbies’ NFL by Chubbies line is a fresh take on team wear. The collection sports exclusive designs incorporating officially licensed NFL team marks, so you can support your favorite team without worrying about matching outfits with friends when they come over to watch the game (unless of course you want to).
Ushering in the season
NFL season has arrived which means the grill is lit, the pool is open, and you can rep your team without looking like you're wearing a jersey. Chubbies is leaning into its playful aesthetic with names like The Neon and The Game Day Fit that you will not find on other labels. The vibe is rally towel energy, and it benefits from the comfort that made the brand popular with weekend wear. If you want a fresh way to celebrate your team before the first snap, this is it.
The collection at a glance
Three hero pieces make up the NFL by Chubbies drop. First is the Classic Lined Swim Trunk which uses a quick drying stretch shell and a soft boxer brief liner plus UPF 50 plus sun protection. Next is the vintage inspired Mesh Short with side taping, roomy pockets, and a zip back pocket for your phone. Rounding it out is the Performance Polo that is lightweight, moisture wicking, and UPF 50 plus which looks sharp at the tailgate or on a casual Friday.
Swim trunks performance and comfort
Chubbies’ NFL swim trunks keep the brand’s core recipe. The shell is a 92 percent polyester 8 percent spandex blend with four way stretch and UPF 50 plus, paired to a supportive boxer brief liner that is 91 percent polyester 9 percent spandex. You also get an elastic waistband with drawstring, mesh hand pockets, and a secure zip back pocket. The cut is built for movement and the 5.5 inch inseam hits that thigh forward sweet spot without feeling skimpy. These details show up consistently across the team variants from 49ers to Bills to Dolphins.
Mesh shorts vibe check
If you prefer land locked comfort, the NFL Mesh Short brings a throwback gym short look with modern function. The outer mesh and the soft tricot inner layer are both 100 percent polyester. There are two front pockets and a zip back pocket, an elastic waist, and an adjustable drawcord. Product copy notes a 5 inch inseam which gives that bouncy practice short feel. The side taping and team marks lean vintage, which looks great with a tee or the matching polo. For mesh shorts, plan on roughly a 5 inch inseam and a breezy drape.
Performance polo for game day
The NFL Performance Polo is meant to go from spreadsheets to stadium seats. The fabric is an 88 percent polyester 12 percent spandex blend that is breathable, moisture wicking, and UPF 50 plus. Chubbies calls it a tailored fit and explicitly recommends sizing up if you want a more relaxed look. While the designs are anything but subtle, the presence of the collar permits it to be worn to events that other team wear merch not make the cut. The polo wears tailored through the torso with a structured collar. If you prefer extra room, size up one as Chubbies suggests, and if you are between sizes the brand guidance is to choose the larger size for a looser feel.
Kids and matching sets
A really fun angle with this collection is family matching. Chubbies offers boys swim trunks and toddler swim trunks in the same motifs, so dad and kiddo can roll up to the cookout in the same team look. The boys trunks mirror the adult details with a lined construction and team graphics. Matching Performance Polo shirts are also available in boy sizes. Availability varies by team, but many of the big markets are covered which makes gifting simple for birthdays and early holiday shoppers. It is a small thing that plays big in photos and at pool parties.

Vetted Verdict
If you want to celebrate kickoff season without defaulting to a boring jersey, this line nails the brief. The trunks move like you already made the Pro Bowl, the mesh shorts deliver a playful practice feel, and the polo dresses things up without losing team spirit. The license keeps everything official and the Chubbies only prints keep it fresh. If you are unsure on fit, order two sizes and let the free returns work for you.
About Chubbies
Chubbies built its name on bold, weekend-ready shorts that don’t take themselves too seriously. Founded in 2011 by four friends in San Francisco, the brand carved out a niche with shorter inseams, bright prints, and a playful aesthetic. High-quality stretch fabrics meet a “fun first” approach that resonates with people who want their clothes to feel as relaxed as their weekends. Over the years, Chubbies has expanded into swimwear, polos, and loungewear, keeping the same mix of comfort, color, and tongue-in-cheek humor that made it a cult favorite.
