[QUOTE]Nike continues to stoke anticipation with a promotional video, "Nike Football Epic Transformation" narrated by Michael Irvin, who says dramatically, "Friday nights and Saturday afternoons don't lie, change is good. And we're bringing all the change we've got to Sundays."

Sunday's Pro Bowl provided a teaser to the future with players wearing Nike's fashionably cool Vapor Jet gloves and colorful cleats.

I always have liked their dark metallic green helmets with the flakes. Thought it was a great look, and it comes out well in HD. That said, the color "teal" should be banished from all manly pursuits. :doh:

Seconded. Thank goodness the Redskins have a history with their uniforms, I feel bad for the fans of teams like the Jags that have to put up with a bland uniform like that. Why not just give them an all black uniform that just says Jaguars on the front?

Very interesting. Everbody sworn to secrecy until after the Super Bowl; that seems to suggest that the NFL will indeed have a new look in 2012. Maybe one of these artist conceptions will turn out to be close to accurate when it comes to the Redskin uniform appearance for next season. Looking forward to seeing the new Nike version.

From what I understand, the drastic change with Nike is in the form of the material that the uniforms are made of, which will probably provide, naturally, a different look all in itself. As far as logo changes, the NFL teams control all of that. They ultimately decide color scheme and so forth. Certainly, it's not out of the question for Nike to propose certain changes at the discretion of the NFL owners.

Re: 2012 uniform changes thread
 

i dig the all black as a side dish but not as the main course. i am very confused by the article on nfl.com - they mention a change from adidas to nike. did they mean from reebok to nike? can anyone shine any light upon my ignorance?

Re: 2012 uniform changes thread
 

I like the history of the Redskins B&G, but i am not against the idea of a new uniform as it may represent a change for the better, and basically the team establishing a "new identity" with Shanahan and Allen.

Sadly, these days you see Burgandy & Gold and you think of one of the league's worst teams, over-paid past their prime players, etc...

We are doing things the right way and I don't think it would be terrible if we adopted a new uniform. My favorite skins uniform is the one from 2003, the dark burgandy jersey with the spear. Maybe tweak that a little bit. It really looked awesome i thought.

Oh dear god. What are we, a third rate D3 team? Someone, do something! Before it's too late!

Also, side note: All these possibility pictures have young, fit, trim athletes in them. Why don't we get one of a 400 pound lineman in it? That would give us a better more realistic idea of what to expect.

Some of those pro combat uniforms blow. Like the Browns? And the Chiefs? God. I'm not a fan of ours either. But some do look bad ass. The Falcons, The Eagles, Panthers...

Re: 2012 uniform changes thread
 

I realize those are just concept unis (I've seen these floating around the net for awhile) but if any of these have a chance of actually making it, I hope it's not THAT Redskins helmet. I think the helmet looks horrid. I'd much rather keep the current one, or maybe incorporate the current one with the old spear and feather...but you HAVE to keep the helmet burgundy.

I actually prefer what Summo posted awhile back....it's simple but updated.

Re: 2012 uniform changes thread
 

I did a search and I couldn't find if anyone else brought this up, if so I apologize if it has, any way did anyone notice that New Era is the new hat supplier for the NFL ie. sidelines, Super Bowl Pro bowl etc.? I don't know how I feel about this. Much of what they make are those stupid Flat bill hats that are popular now. During this years pro bowl some of the players were wearing New Era NFC, AFC hats that looked as if they were flat bills that they tried to shape.

Why are they trying to make the caps look dorky with the flat bills?

Re: 2012 uniform changes thread
 

[quote=skinsguy;887180]Why are they trying to make the caps look dorky with the flat bills?[/quote]


I'm not a fan of flat bills but to attempt to answer your question I'd presume it's because either A- it's popular now and B- this company is trying to make a name for itself and stepping out of the norm to do it.

Personally I think the flat bills are stupid. Makes people look like dorks. I'm even picky about where my hat is made. I prefer the hats made in Bangladesh (I think thats it) because the bills are thinner and are more easy to form to my liking.

Re: 2012 uniform changes thread
 

I kind of figured it must be the "in" thing right now. Kind of like those trucker hats...I just don't get those either. Then again, I'm kind of a plain type of guy anyway. I'm not into the latest and greatest fashions...probably because the latest and greatest are more geared for those much younger than me.

Re: 2012 uniform changes thread
 

90% of hats these days suck.

I prefer the simple classic looks. I also like an unstructured fitted hat. Hate those straps or those one size fits all, they're always too tight.

Re: 2012 uniform changes thread
 

^ my beef with the flat bill is I like to curl the brim so it has a nice tight curl to it. Usually flat bills have too much bill, are thicker and harder to curl, and unless I want the hip hop tilt I look stupid in a flat bill.
