[quote=skinsfaninok;906605]Football is on top by far today and will be for a long time, now will it be moved aside by another sport years down the road ? Maybe but it's not anywhere close right now.. the NBA is a joke and I live where the most exciting team in the league plays, baseball is almost like the NHL but not quite as bad and of course the college games will never become bigger than the NFL.[/quote]


...to borrow a quote from the movie the Blind side......"NASCAR ",...not even close!

Just a joke, but Soccer ....or futball is still bigger worldwide.

[quote=GusFrerotte;906592]More stupid bullshit to fleece the fans with. I have one Skins cap to replace my older one that had its brim start to wear out and a jersey I bought from 2002. That is enough for me. You will get idiots that will buy all these new designs etc, and get thrown back a few hundred dollars. The NFL/ and the other corporate stooges will do anything to get the fans to dish out tons of dough for stuff they don't need. At the same time, the NFL's product suffers from mediocrity. You have 32 teams, and only a handful are really good teams. So much for parity!!!!! Yeah it is parity alright, but most of the teams suck. But oh what wonderful new uniforms they wear, we must part with $200 to see a bunch of morons play crappy football.[/quote]

First off, take a deep breath.

More than anything this is about the fact Nike won the uniform contract, and therefore redesigned them in their style.

If it were a true marketing gimmick, they would have put out totally new uniform designs across the board.

All of these "new" uniforms except for Seattle have just nominal changes appearance wise. The main changes are in the material.

[quote=Dirtbag59;906599]It will one day.

Maybe it's because I live up in an upscale area but among a lot of young kids Lacrosse is become pretty popular. I know it's been popular up in the DMV area for a while but down here where there was no real base it's started to catch on to the point where some kids are actually quitting football to focus on LAX. Granted it's still a niche sport but nonetheless it's still catching on

Makes me wonder what might happen 30 or 40 years down the line. I mean could anyone have predicted back in the 50's and 60's that football would replace baseball as the top sport in America? Heck they barely had an established pro league at that point[/quote]

I love lacrosse and have for more than 30 years. Great sport. I played it in high school. What the SEC is to football, the ACC is to lacrosse, and this will be even more magnified when Syracuse joins the ACC next year.

I hope our gold pants are still alive.

I predict that "unreleased alternate" Orakpo referred to is our 80th throwback uniform...which will be the 70th Anniversary uniform with the spear helmet.

I'd love to see the feather helmet though. It will only be worn twice whatever we use.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

Seattle is using "12th Man" inside their collars.

Bruce Allen actually leaked ours in February...missed that.

We're using "[B]Team Effort Tradition[/B]".

I really hope we get to see the alternate jerseys before the season starts.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

I really don't see the big deal about new jerseys or alternative jerseys. I mean it is nothing more than a sales gimmick to spark interest and get folks to part with their money for more stuff they don't need. I mean we already have alternative uniforms, the two retro ones they have worn in the recent past, the yellow helmets with the script R and the maroon jerseys and helmets with the spearhead on it. I admit it was cool for a bit, but then it just became too much. At least the Skins' retro stuff wasn't as ugly as Pittsburgh's or the Pack's.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over
 

[quote=Chico23231;906598]From what I heard on Espn, Nike put alot of effort in from direct feedback from players to make the uniforms better for actual play on the field. Voice of the players was motivation for the changes. Sure a couple minor color change or stitching here or there for the eye but it wasnt profit oriented. I mean I get your point of changing jerseys or having an alternative one or throwbacks to make a little cash...but every sport always does that and they wouldnt if fans wouldnt spend the cash but obviously they do.[/quote]


Dude, don't mean to burst your bubble a tad, but what do the players really care about changes to the uniforms? The only preactical input I think a player would make is maybe about the inside padding of the helmet and maybe more comfortable shoes, other than that why would they give a shit about small changes or color schemes. I mean did you see some of those retro uniforms from some of the other teams? If those guys would wear thaqt stuff, they would wear anything the management told them to.

here is some of the things I was talking about when NIKE consulted the players, league and looked to make improvements. Your not busting my bubble, I was just passing along info I had heard. Sure selling jerseys is money for the league, but they actually put thought into improving a better play experience which I thought was cool. it wasnt all about crazy color changes and making crappy uniforms to cash in.
