Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over

It's very clear some people simply like a jersey with numbers on it and pants with two team color stripes going down the side.

I respect the old uni's but their so plain and simple. I like the new designes, like the Bronco' and Vikings. Heck I'm sure I'm one of the few bu I like what Oregon does with their uni's and helmet.

Bottom line for me, it's my team, they are "just" uniforms, and they aren't maroon and black equivalents of the bumblebees up north. I'm good with them.

They're still the 'skins. I mean, until the Redskins match their glory years in modern times, I'll always identify the white jerseys with burgundy pants as the main Redskins uniform, but I'd be all for incorporating the throwback colors (the true gold color) with something new.

Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over

FYI -

You'll notice the old NFL Equipment shield on practice and sideline/fashion merchandise. Nike is using only the NFL shield alone on the actual uniforms, but everything else wlll still have the same Equipment shield Reebok used. I thought it was going away but that only applies to the gameday uniforms.

Examples:

I agree, they work for some teams but not others - look good for the Bengals.

It almost looks stranger when the collar is fully enclosed - too wide. I'm looking at you, Houston.

It is interesting because flywire is for weight, durability, etc but it isn't like they wear the same jersey every game.. makes me think you could get a better grip if you got your hand inside the jersey... but doesn't happen much in the front... must be for fit

Perhaps they are trying to reinforce the fact that the NFL is a business first.
