Reebok out, Nike in as NFL uniform supplier

God if they make logo/uni changes like the NCAA it will be wack.

The NFL isn't going to allow them to come in and make crazy changes without teams signing off on them. I think Summo is right, the changes will probably be more with the materials used. Perhaps they will propose new designs to teams but ultimately the teams themselves would have to agree.

All I want to know is whether shit is going to cost less. Also, are PFT people Huskie fans? Please believe my Ducks have the best colors and uniform in College Football.

everything will probably just cost more.


and look exactly the same, but with a swoosh instead.

Somebody's getting a nice Christmas bonus

Not sure what kind of dramatic changes can be made, but I look forward to seeing it.

Nike's made some noise with their pro combat line, so I guess it was enough that the NFL took notice. Personally I think a handful of their alterations are ugly but the general style is pretty good. Anyway the point is they're selling.

Nike's also behind the Oregon uniforms that has worked for OU has a great part of their recruiting pitch.

A lot of you might remember these two alternates

Ugh. While I like the "Pro Combat" look in CF, that's exactly where it needs to stay. I like the colors of the teams in the NFL and you know Nike can't change anything up without a team's permission. I would hate to see a redesigned 'Skins jersey just because Nike wanted to do it. I'm lovin the burgundy jersey/gold pants look and we don't need to see anything switched up.

Like Summo said I would hope they are just talking about what materials they are using to make it, because I wouldn't want to see any drastic uniform changes once Nike starts making them.

Was in the market for a new Jersey. Glad I saw this thread...don't feel like dropping nearly $200+ only to see the design and/or materials change next season. Mine as well just wait now.

Where's this notion coming from that Nike would release jersey's without the teams permission?

"Vut Mr. Prezident ze team sez their current unis are wonderbar!"

"Forgetz them! Zey must know ze power of the swoosh!!!!!"

Obviously it's in Nike's best interest to have a team wear a particular jersey on gameday to generate sales. I'm pretty sure though that part of the reason the NFL recruited Nike was to start their own line of pro combat jerseys with wacky, out of this world designs. If anything it kind of felt out of place in the more traditional based college game.

Not to change the subject, but who do we talk to to get the Skins to wear their Gold pants again Sunday night? They are cool!

I think the reason they weren't worn on Sunday is because Green Bay wore their pee-pee pants. I know we are wearing Burgundy Jerseys at home this year, and probably had no choice but to wear white pants since GarBage wore their white jerseys and piss pants. The move was most likely made to avoid confusion I'd imagine, but really not quite sure.(anyone know about the specifics of pants on game day?) Anyhow,I expect to see them again soon. HTTR
