MOORESVILLE, N.C., Sept. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- NFL fans nationwide now have a chance to join Lowe's Home Team. Together with 12 NFL stars and more than 300,000 Lowe's associate "coaches," the company is honoring Pro customers and challenging fans to complete DIY projects and compete to become one of the 10,000 members of the team, helping everyone win the home game.

Lowe's Home Team Jersey Artist, Marcus Rivero

During the NFL season, fans who participate in the Lowe's Home Team Contest will have the chance to be drafted onto the Lowe's Home Team. Fans who are selected will win a limited-edition, official Lowe's Home Team jersey designed by professional artist and apparel customizer Marcus Rivero (aka Soles by Sir), along with a chance to win the ultimate prize: a trip for two to Super Bowl LVI.

NFL stars will also go beyond home to make an impact in communities through repair and renovation projects alongside Lowe's associates.

"At Lowe's we always play for the home team, and this fall we saw an opportunity to go big," said Marisa Thalberg, Lowe's executive vice president, chief brand and marketing officer. "Not only will our team of NFL stars tackle meaningful improvement projects in their communities, but our force of associate 'coaches' will help fans at home take their do-it-yourself dreams across the goal line. We're helping everyone win the home game this NFL season."

Lowe's will also launch officially licensed paint colors for all 32 NFL teams this season in-store and online in collaboration with the NFL and Valspar®, enabling fans to wear their pride not just on their sleeves but also on their walls. Lowe's will support all Home Team initiatives with an integrated marketing campaign inclusive of national television advertising, digital and social creative, in-broadcast custom content partnerships with NBC Sports and NFL Network and in-store display units.

Improving Homes and Hometowns Across America

From renovating a shelter in Richmond, Calif. that gave NFL newcomer Najee Harris a home when he had none, to helping Drew Brees give back to a small business owner in New Orleans who has been a bedrock in his community, each Home Team player will partner with Lowe's to

complete a critical home repair project in service of an NFL community in need. Eight of these 12 projects are included in Lowe's 100 Hometowns program, an initiative celebrating Lowe's centennial by completing 100 improvement projects across 36 states. Lowe's is rebuilding areas reeling from natural disasters, repairing critical housing, restoring beloved community centers, reviving green spaces, and much more.
