I was surprised last year that the NFL allowed those hideous 2-tone collars on several uniforms last year. I hated that Nike litterally dictated the design on the uniform by doing that. The only thing tha tI think a uniform manufacture should do is suggest materials that should be used. But when Nike messed with the color of the colalrs, they actually changed the appearnce of the uniform, whcih i think is not what they should eb doing at all. They should design the sideline gear, or gloves, and retail items, but I thought doing that was a little arrogant on their part.
Regardless, i am not sure if the NFL stepped in or what, but it sure looks like the league as a whole fixed those stupid 2-tone collars to basically make the flywire collar stick out so they could market Nike's Flywire collar technology. Just froma quick view of some 2013 preseason games, it looks like someone made an effort to make a good sized change.
I haven't seen every team, but noticed the Ravens, Bucs and Broncos made a switch. I find it insteresting though, as I really liked the all black collars on the Bucs jerseys, as it matched the black sleeve cuffs great. Now the Buccaneers have switched to all white. I think it almost makes the jersye incomplete by not being black.... Anyways, see the 2012 vs 2013 photos below....
