Re: 2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over

Making the collar a contrasting color is the big mistake. They could use their "technology" without making it stand out, but that's Nike's intention...they didn't colorize the collars for design purposes, it's to market and show off their "advancements in uniform technology". This is the same reason they colorize the flywire in the college uniforms. It would function the same if it blended in with the uniform design, but then no one would know it is there.

See shoulders, the Flywire is the strands of thread that make the jersey fit better.







Green Bay put their foot down and said their tradition is going to trump Nike's marketing gimmicks.
