wow great info, thanks for the post jeff

curious to see if nike will screw up traditional uniforms. I dont know if you guy saw, i cant remember where but if you search "nfl pro combat" there's a slideshow of nfl uniforms in the "pro combat" style format and almost 90% of them are hideous.

very interested to see where nike's designs will lead

The biggest change will simply be the manufacturer's logo.
Teams won't be changing their uniforms just because a different company is making them.

Pretty cool news. To bad nothing on the Jets though.

doesn't nike have a "tighter fit" than reebok? i feel like alot of nfl teams have a loose fit jersey.

if you follow college football alot of the uniforms are by nike and they are the tightest fit possible. the most tight fitting jersey i would think is the jaguars uni's

If NFL teams can't tweak there jerseys unless 5 years have passed thats a good thing for Dolphins fans because we just had a jersey tweak with the navy border thinning only a few years ago. I have a feeling the Dolphins jersey will be one of the designs that drasticly changes because I keep hearing a lot of people are sick of the Navy border. I really hope they don't change them : (

Do they even make them? I was under the impression they only make the fan gear, but simply pay to have their logo & tags on the game jerseys.

i dont mind it so much, but i would like to change the all teal jerseys, i fell like its just way to plain.

we wore them all preseason long and to me they are the worst we have.

the orange alternates need to become a regular!

Re: Interesting NFL Uniform update for this year.....

It has been confirmed that the designs are fake.

Still, not going to lie, I REALLY like the Eagles, Titans, Bengals (all better than what they have now!) the Seahawks and Pats. But the Browns, WOW, I mean hands down the BEST !

Re: Interesting NFL Uniform update for this year.....

Here's the thing, despite a change in manufacturer, I can't forsee that many changes in NFL uniforms. This isn't college FB where teams are getting free uniforms or sponsorship.

In the NFL, the sponsorship is the logo on the uniform, teams in the NFL aren't going to change their trademark uniforms as easily as college teams.

There are teams such as the Bears, Steelers, and Raiders (among other teams) that will tell Nike or any other contractor who make NFL uniforms for the league that there will be no changes to their jerseys. That doesn't mean that the fabrics won't change, but the basic design will remain the same.

There are too many teams in the NFL that are branded by both name and jersey design that it would be silly to give up their branding for the sake of change.

i agree with this, it will just be a tighter fit fabric i guess.

but yeah no way in hell traditional teams will change their design

Re: Interesting NFL Uniform update for this year.....

I was less interested about the new styles and more interested in the new captains patches for this year and number of alternate, throwback or patch jerseys that may now be available through the teams or NFL Auctions.
