2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over

Monkeydad · 05-10-2012, 11:24 AM

Actually the NFL does not allow alternate helmets, it has to be a throwback from the past to be worn. (Steelers yellow, Cowgirls white, etc.)

With Nike and the Seahawks teaming up, it's probably a good rule now! We'll never see an Oregon treatment with a different helmet every week in the NFL, thankfully. Pro teams have much more concrete identities than colleges who change their uniforms every year and lately, every week. They have a money-making brand to sell in the NFL, so sticking to that is important to their marketing/branding/merchandising goals.

Anyway...just heard from someone I know in DC that the event is 4:30 to 6:30.

I'm impatient, I want to know!
