Here in Fort Worth we’ve been pleased with what Nike did with the Horned Frogs apparel, those jersey’s are hot looking with the way they pick up light, it’s like they are battery powered, I love them.

Seahawks announced last year they will have new uniforms for the 2012 season. Rumor has it they’ll be unveiled early April.

I think that jerseys should be designed to be very difficult to hold and grab, even if the player is wearing gloves. I think that there should be restrictions on what types of gloves players wear to make sure that they are great for gripping a football and protecting the hands, but terrible at gripping a jersey. Most likely this tech is available without taking away from how well a player can grab a football.

I say this because I feel that holding in the NFL is very annoying. Penalties break the flow of the game and when a player is beat he naturally has to grab jersey and hope the official misses it. But if the jersey just slips through his fingers it would reduce holding in the NFL and make the game more fluid.

Please don’t do those skin tight spandex like jerseys you see in college football & basketball. A lot of fans aren’t ” fit” & it would hurt sales.

….and I’ll continue to buy directly from China rather than pay the 1,000% markup that Nike/Reebok and the NFL charge. $300 – $400 for a a nylon mesh shirt with some numbers and letters stitched on is ridiculous beyond belief.

I love how everybody keeps referencing Oregon. Yall do realize that the CEO and Co-founder of Nike went to Oregon, right? They’re obviously going to have a million different uniforms.

I’m open minded about it, and I wouldn’t complain for a second if the Redskins went with a black and burgandy/gold scheme.

Can we change to new owners with that, too?

Remember those radical “bat,e gear” uniform designs that leaked, and all we heard was they weren’t done by anyone at Nike? I am convinced that was a test leak to see the reactions. Look for those to appear soon enough.

You lucky duck! Lambert was one of the best to ever play the game and his being a Steeler was the icing on that cake!

lol are u people new to earth? Nike/Reebok/Under Armor etc design materials. You might see a different sleeve design or collar. But Nike can’t control team colors or logos bro. Please tell me you guys don’t think Nike would change your teams color scheme? lol Oregon agreed to do that, they don’t have tradition. Calm Down Nerds

They are not going to change the design of the uniforms like they did with Oregon. It’s material and tech. Teams like the Raiders, GB, 49ers, KC have had their uniform design for years and I don’t think they’ll be changing it up anytime soon. They may have one Pro Combat uniform like they do with some college teams like Stanford had one but it wasn’t a drastic change from they regular uniforms. I embrace the change cause I hated the fitted hats Reebok had. I’m glad New Era is the new hat provider.

I hope they come with cup holders this time!

Unless these new uniforms can make Tim Tebow look like a real quarterback…I don’t care.

When Nike is talking about the “drastic” changes of the uniforms, they are most likely discussing the material of which they are made. I bet they are integrating more moisture-wicking technology (Nike Dri-Fit) into the uniforms. If anyone has used their products with this in it, they would know how great it works!

As for tradition, I am a Titans fan, and our uniforms look like something from the World League! So I have nothing to say to that. Change may be welcomed.

Some of you people are really dense. Nike isn’t referring to changing uniform designs. They aren’t going to switch up logos, colors, etc. Calm down. Afterall, those are ultimately the decision of the teams themselves. Nike has no power to change the design of the Raiders uniform scheme or design. DUH. Only the Raiders have that power.

Nike is referring to changes in material, etc.

Get a grip, people.

Personally, I’m glad Nike is taking over the NFL gear. I’m sick of the garbage Reebok has put out the last 10 years. Their hats are atrocious.

No changes coming to those two shares of Packers stock on my wall.

Since 1997.

PFT should really start some type of prop bet or pool system where we can wager how many comments appear before Packer fans show up and say something packer-fan-ish.

Back on topic, I don’t even mind the Oregon jerseys as much as whatever the heck Virgina Tech wore earlier in the year.

There have been some nice revamps in the past 20 or so years (Eagles, Pats, Bucs, Rams, Lions, even the slight changes by the Cardinals) and some absolutely hideous ones (pre-2011 Bills, Seahawks)

But so many of the jerseys are iconic. Heck, I still miss the block numbers on the Steelers.

It’d be nice if they reign in some of the throwbacks and alternate jerseys, like the Jets throwbacks and the Bears orange jerseys on white pants.

We’ll see, I guess. I’m cautiously optimistic.

We’re less than two weeks away from the biggest game of the year and we’re talking jerseys? Please! Where are the stories on Gronkowski, Cruz, etc?

The technology part is the Jerseys will have an imbedded ID Strip, that can be read by security cameras, so when Eagles Fans beat up Giants fan the can be identified.

Nike’s track record with those butt ugly NCAA jerseys isn’t exactly stellar. Maryland “special” uniform anyone?”

Under Armor is the ones that did the UofM uniforms. So Nike has has their share of mistakes but those for once weren’t on Nike. I am excited to see what kinda modifications they will do the jerseys and 3rd uniforms for teams.

I have an Oregon jersey ( with the feathers on the shoulders ). I enjoyed the games and the uniform changes. BUT I also didn’t mind the blue field at Boise State. The Oregon jersey was purchased from the Oregon College store, any NFL apparel comes from Asia ( at a substantial savings ). Thats my story and I’m sticking to it.

My last Jersey purchase was an authentic Carson Palmer Bengals, after he signed through 2014.
That’s all I got to say about that.

Ugh … if they start making NFL jerseys anywhere near as ugly as Oregon’s jerseys, I might have to start watching soccer.
