Re: 2013 NFL jerseys, NO LONGER 2-TONE
Just to clear things up - teams that never had a contrasting collar like the Bears, Chiefs, Steelers, etc. never had that half-collar treatment in the new template. Others were given options - the Lions, for example, just decided to drop their former contrasting collar on the new template. Other teams had Nike modify the template with a knit collar - Patriots did this, as did the Cowboys for their navy jeseys (not the fauxback, the one with the silver stripes on the sleeve). Also while the Texans chose to use a fully-colored large collar they didn't do the flywire. Finally some teams just said no to the Nike template - those being the Packers, Eagles, Panthers, Falcons and Raiders who stuck with their old-style uniform cuts.
There are still some teams with the Nike half-collar for 2013 - the Bengals, Saints, and Rams are sticking with it (although it kind of works on the Bengals given their tiger stripe design). The teams that dropped the half-collar look are the Ravens, Chargers, Redskins white jersey (the burgundy jerseys never had it), Broncos (went with the full contrast collar) and the Bills (went to the knit collar like the Patriots and Cowboys navy).
The three new designs were done without the half-collar - the Dolphins (they had it on the white jerseys only in 2012), the Vikings, and the Jaguars.

I neglected to mention that the Buccaneers also dropped the half-collar this year.
