NFL cosmetics are returning to Fortnite for another stint as a new Patrick Mahomes ICON skin is up for grabs, and here’s everything you need to know about it, including the release date and all cosmetics.

Way back in 2018, NFL cosmetics made their way to Fortnite for the first time with the Gridiron skin. Fortnite players who purchased the skin could also utilize different variations that took on the color theme of the National Football League’s 32 teams.

With the NFL season set to start on Thursday, September 9, it’s no surprise that NFL cosmetics are returning to the game. Now, Epic Games have chosen Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes as the new ICON series skin.

Although Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers are still dominating the NFL, American Football fans view Patrick Mahomes as their successor. The universal admiration that Mahomes has developed due to his stellar play, has led to several genre-bending opportunities.

So, it’s not surprising that Epic Games have added him as the new ICON Series skin in Fortnite Chapter 3, Season 3. Be sure to get your hands on all of these cosmetics when they hit the Item Shop.
