Nike plans to "dramatically" change NFL jerseys | ProFootballTalk.com

The NBA jerseys have changed alot also, I think adidas does their's.. I'm sure they will be pretty cool

In my short life, i have seen addidas, and nike make NFL uniforms. I'm glad they made the switch back to Nike.

In my closet is a vintage #3 Nike Jeff George authentic jersey, along with an addidas #8 Mark Brunell jaguars jersey from his very first year on the team...

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.

I think OSU wore something like that as part of a throwback day, when they wore the 1950's uniform last season. It looked OK, but it is crappy compared to the present day uniform.

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!

[Summo]

Nike had this opportunity once before an blew it. The NFL essentially kicked them out because the didn't produce merchandise quick enough. I hope the learned their lesson.

[Summo]

If I remember correctly it was Jerry Jones that brought Nike in and had them produce the Cowboy uniforms and sideline apparel with out the NFL's consent. The NFL rebuffed and came to an agreement with Reedbok and that led to a season where their uni's and sideline apparel had no Nike logos on them, they were just shirts with blue and silver stripes on the coaches shirts.

Nike says they will do the NFL jerseys like " they did the NCAA's" What do you think Summo? Good to go flashy or keep it like it is now?

I hope they are referring to the materials used to make the unis and not the actual design. I know that NFL properties owns the logos and designs of the teams so I would imagine that any drastic redesign would have to be approved by them and the team first. I would also imagine that the league would have tighter reins on Nike and not give them Carte blanche like the NCAA has. Also don't forget that the Broncos redesign was a Nike one, from the logo to the unis.

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

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