I'm not on that boat.

I fear what Nike would do to the NFL if given free reign over designs.

I'm not talking permanent change, just for a couple games like they do with the throwbacks. I dont think any futuristic uni could be worse than those horrid candycane throwbacks Denver wore or the high school looking throwbacks Chicago & Detroit wore.

I guess I prefer looking to the future rather than looking back.

Re: Nike Pro Combat Uniforms NFL 2012
 

I find myself agreeing with Buster more and more. Scary....

Re: Nike Pro Combat Uniforms NFL 2012
 

I actually like the concept pictures that Buster posted, although I am still stuck on having the white jerseys and the burgundy pants. I like the longer sleeves (under the jersey) with the stripes, and the "retro" striped socks.

Some of the other concept photos were just way too out there. Such as the black helmets with the over-sized Indian head....not a fan! I don't mind NIKE going with the combat unis (if it does happen) as long as they keep some tradition with the colors and the styles (again such as what is in these photos) and not get ridiculous.

Re: Nike Pro Combat Uniforms NFL 2012
 

Of course, again, I think only way NIKE makes huge changes to the uniforms, colors and otherwise, is if the franchises agree to them and sign off on the changes. So, I wouldn't expect any ridiculous changes to the Redskins uniforms in 2012.

I agree about white on burgundy, I prefer that too, but the gold pants are great looking with the burg jerseys.

Nike used those on Oregon State's PC uniforms and it's a genius idea actually. It eliminated the effects of jersey tailoring and fitting issues that messes up the stripes or completely eliminates them on some players. It has gotten to the point where Brett Favre was the only active player with proper sleeve stripes.

Linemen espacially ruin the jerseys around the sleeves. Look how great Favre's sleeve stripes look. Now look at his teammates:

Speaking of the Giants, Reebok botched theirs as badly as the Colts:

Re: Nike Pro Combat Uniforms NFL 2012
 

Yes, I am NOT a fan of the "wife beater" jersey look. I think those Giants jerseys are horrible looking, look grossly too small for the players, and just looks very unprofessional.

I think every player on every team should look uniform with the other players. That is one reason why I would be in favor of a uniform overhaul. But most definitely, I would love to see the striped sleeves and striped long socks back.

I have to admit. The gold pants and burgundy jerseys are starting to grow on me, but I don't think they should wear the gold pants with white jerseys.

Re: Nike Pro Combat Uniforms NFL 2012
 

I really like the concepts for the Skins that Buster posted earlier today, but my only questions with having the stripes on the under shirt instead of the actual jersey itself is can they really force every player to wear the under shirt?
I would think that there are players that wouldn't want to wear that kind of form fitting shirt if they're not used to it. I guess they could wear a baggier version, almost like a normal t-shirt, but I think that would probably look weird, and again, can you force them to wear it?

Well, they could always fine the players each week they choose not to wear it. I would imagine a good majority wear the "under armor" stuff already, but just that what they wear is sleeveless. Looks like these under shirts are basically the same thing, but just a longer "short" sleeve.

It's part of the uniform so yes, they'd have to wear it. Sorry Osi, the gun show will have to take a back seat to uniformity.

Seriously, his looks like a basketball jersey, it looks horrible.

Osi and other guys modify their jerseys like that so lineman don't have anything to grab on to.

Buster stikes me as the type of guy that will only have missionary sex with his wife because he is afraid to try anything new.

I am not for all of those crazy revamps of the uniform but I do like subtle improvements. I like most of the newer NFL uniforms over the throwbacks because they look a little more modern. I am sorry but the old 2 colors with basic stripe design is way too bland.

The cut off sleeves are more for function than for look (less to hold on to). Because of the more functional sleeves the half stripes make more sense.

As far as pant stripes are concerned I rather like the thick, pointed, half stripes over the long and skinny, tripple, stripes. It gives the pants more color.

It's funny you mention the cut off sleeves being more functional, because it's less to hold on to, and then players are wearing long dreadlocks. To me, the hair defeats the purpose of having sleeveless jerseys. You can just yank 'em down with their hair.

I'm not a fan of the long hair either, but the cut off sleeves are more to protect against holding than tackling. The sleeves are close enough to the front of the body to grab a hold of and sometimes get away with doing it. the hair is on the back of a player and if he were to be held by it, it would be pretty obvious.

Now I'm not saying that the cut off sleeves do not benefit runners because they do, but you will see more D-Lineman wearing them.

Re: Nike Pro Combat Uniforms NFL 2012
 

Actually though, I don't believe it's a penalty if a player gets pulled down by the hair. From what I've heard, it's fair game (I don't know that for a fact thought.)

Re: Nike Pro Combat Uniforms NFL 2012
 

I had heard that it was a part of the uniform, I think it may have changed with the Horse Collar rule though.

It should be. LJ's tackle on Polamalu was great to me. Player's choice to wear long hair or a baggy jersey. If you give them something to grab, they'll grab it. Unless you're Marshawn Lynch...he grabs his own.

^ well Nike has said they aren't BUT who knows honestly?? I just don't see the NFL allowing Kindergarden art on their uniforms I mean some are ok looking but let's be real that shit is ugly on the side of the pants and that 1 skins helmet was hidious.. In fact don't teams have a say in the matter in the NFL? You know some owners aren't down for robocop looking unis.

Re: Nike Pro Combat Uniforms NFL 2012
 

Either way they're not on the Nike site, which is what I told him, gave him my phone to find it on.
