Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
The decision to change the logos an unis is based on the discretion of the team; however it requires approval from the league. The designs are based on a partnership with the uni manufacture and the team. I would also imagine the nfl has final sign off - have to maintain the brand. The process usually takes a year I'd say.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
Yep, the teams ultimately approve any changes. In some cases, the brand does the design work (see Seattle 2012) but in the end, the team must approve it and the everything must fit league uniform guidelines like number/name on back placement, required TV numbers (shoulder/sleeve digits), etc. Also, only one alternate/throwback is allowed in any 5-year period. We did our 80th uniforms last season so by league rules, we can't use any other alternate for 4 more years...but we can still use those for those 4 years if we choose to. I'd love to see the leather helmets again personally.
Speaking of throwbacks, the Jets' ugly "Titans" throwbacks should be done now, so hopefully they'll go with a 1980s Jets throwback.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
Jared Allen quote on new Vikings uniforms:
"I was excited when I saw it for the first time. I was really pumped. It's a simple uniform for us which to me makes it look better. You let the purple stand out which is what the Vikings stand for. The new pant and uniform design are going to be a hit." Unveiling on the 25th of April. Vikings To Unveil New Uniforms On Thursday, April 25 During Club's Draft Party The might do something different with the horns...or should. The newer style Revo helmets have that vent in the side that chop the horn in half. Hopefully, I've been saying this for years, they just use the newer bright purple color with the throwback striping. Lose the excessive piping and stripes that don't even line up! This look with the same metallic purple helmets and shades that match throughout the uniform: ^Seriously the worst striping idea of all time, on a pro level at least.

Updated their web page and apparently the swirly, wave-like wordmark is gone in favor of block letters.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
^Nice catch!
I hope the Vikes return to the shoulder stripes of the 80s, like LSU.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
A couple of sneak peeks that the Vikings have released...
Yellow toilet seat collar is gone. It appears they're going more towards gold than yellow.

Re: 2013 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike Making Changes
If we changed are logo it would get approved by the league, then at the start of the season we would have illegally changed the logo and lose the logo all together!
