Before anyone can criticize, the open-shutter motion effect was intentional, and yes, there will be still-frames of him later. In the mean time, it makes for a pretty cool effect.

Completely agree. It looks so strange.

Hey, it looks good to me....seeing RG III in a 'skins uniform that is! I guess though, other than the throwbacks this year, the 'skins are saying bye bye to the gold pants?

I really hope not. Love the B&G look. In fact, if the Redskins announced that it would be the primary home game uniform, I would be ecstatic. I'm really not a big fan of the burgundy on white look.

Yeah, I finally warmed up to the B&G look, but never could figure out why they didn't keep it all season long.

From everything I have heard, the gold pants are gone.

I'm really disappointed, I loved them!

If that's the case, I'd rather assume just have them wearing their white jerseys on burgundy pants, ala' the glory years.

players can't wear reebok shoes?
"And while Nike shoes were still available to be worn by NFL players when Reebok was making the jerseys and pants, Reebok shoes also will be gone, as of 2012."

does that go for any brand? can griff wear his adidas shoes? someone shed light upon my darkness

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

im sure he will surely be wearing his adidas cleats, as cam will be wearing his under armour as well as other guys with their own contracts i just hope he spats them up in black. when are our alternates going to be released again??

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

Why would you want him to spit on his shoes? I think I've had to ask this question before.


Regardless of brand, the players' shoes must match the color of the rest of the team. The NFL also has a ton of rules on shoes:

haha its tape over the ankles and cleats. i dont see anywhere on there where it says every player must match cleats. im sure its just like previous years, guys can wear black cleats or team color cleats.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

yes they were ugly. it looks like reebok did stop making football shoes. but what stops a manning from wearing a 2011 model? is there a uniform rule against it?

my impression is those are both fine, since the base color of the shoe is black. the all yellow ones that deangelo, carlos and laron wore all burgundy ones are not allowed and they get fined for those. BUT im not sure this year since nike said they are coming out with team color cleats

Yea and I thought some teams had like mostly one color shoe. Remember Portis and his yellow shoes? didnt' they tell him that he had to wear the same color as the rest of the team and if the team all wore yellow then that was fine?

I think the teams can wear whatever color they want so long as they all wear the same color. for some reason the tape issue I thought was to cover up the name brand of shoe not authorized by the league. In other words if the league is using Nike your fine but if you want to wear Reebok then you have to cover up the logo.

Portis was fined $20,000 for those shoes that didn't match the team. He constantly did things to draw fines and did not care. In that game, he was fined for the shoes, his socks and his tinted eye shield. They fined Sean Taylor $5000 that game for his striped socks too.

I've read somewhere else that one of the EA Sports execs have seen all of the alternates and has said that the Redskins uni is one of the better ones. It is supposed to be a completely modern look - not necessarily a throwback. Take that with a grain of salt, though.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

From Orakpo's comment of "Nike still working a third jersey" at the uniform unveiling, I think we could in for a new design instead of a throwback.


They recycled the 75th patch for 80 so I don't know.

Good because they have decided to go with a pink and purple theme with bedazzled seams. Should look [I]hot[/I].

I bet their unis are a solid burgundy with some kind of drab colored pants. That would scream 1932 to me

A Sammy Baugh throwback would be great! I love the style of numerals on those jerseys. Gold helmets!

We did the 1930s-'40 throwback before. 1994. Looked horrible with a modern helmet.

What is so bad with black? Our colors are Burgundy and Gold, just because white has been used since the early 80's as an accent color doesn't mean it has to be white. I could see black and it would look just as good. Black pants Burgundy jersey. Burgundy pants with a Black jersey. Maybe use the Arrow design with black instead of white. Burgundy helmet with black face mask and black and gold arrow.
