Nike says they will do the NFL jerseys like " they did the NCAA's" What do you think Summo? Good to go flashy or keep it like it is now?

I hope they are referring to the materials used to make the unis and not the actual design. I know that NFL properties owns the logos and designs of the teams so I would imagine that any drastic redesign would have to be approved by them and the team first. I would also imagine that the league would have tighter reins on Nike and not give them Carte blanche like the NCAA has. Also don't forget that the Broncos redesign was a Nike one, from the logo to the unis.
