anyways, my point was that the Raiders other then the 1 AFL throwback anniversary year in 2009 , PRIMARILY rock the same uniforms 24-7, more consistent then ANY other team – that is fact.

is that enough clarification for you .

1) You realize it’s because the silver alternate jerseys suck, right? Not to mention the lack of contrast between the away team’s whites? When your colors are basically black white and grey, there’s only so many options you have.

2) Do you even watch football outside of the AFC West?

No change over the years: Packers, Bears, Browns, Colts, Chiefs (how did you miss that one?).

Minimal change at most (slight number or font style): Steelers, Saints, 49ers, Miami, Minnesota.

3) If you’re really going to point out the one game a year that most teams are required to wear an alternate jersey, I’ll refer you to #1.

I can’t stand most of what they’ve done with some of the college uni’s, but I’ll have to admit, I think the flat (rather than glossy) paint on the helmets is an awesome look – especially the flat-black helmet. A few years ago some of the NFL teams change their helmet and with this glitter effect, which look absolutely silly to me. The glitter effect really only looks good on silver and gold, and maybe the Giants blue. I couldn’t believe storied franchises like the Packers and Dolphons went to the glitter. What a joke and a tolal f’up to a classic helmet! I’d rather see a couple of teams use a flat alternative to the glitter crap.

If Nike can change storied college football and basketball uniforms to fit their stupid templates, they’ll do it in the NFL too. I’m sure the league is all in, thinking the kids will like some cool new uniforms. I wish Nike would stop trying to make all the uniforms look the same…especially since their templates are eyesores.

I sure hope they don’t change the jersey look.

Their shoes are nice, I own one pair of the older cheaper ones. So fill in the blank:

Nike products are made by the largest combined amount of ________ laborers in the world.

Nike you better not ____ with us. Fill in that blank.

Big Seahawks fan here, but if Phil Knight’s team of highlighter-happy Oregon designers gets a hold of our duds we’re doomed. Nike’s technology is superior to Reebok’s, no question, but the NFL charities must be licking their chops.
Nike’s special Skittles-themed shoes they made for Marshawn were cute (and he was fined $10k), but how scary is the thought of Nike getting hold of the entire uniform for the entire team! Will the NFL fine the players, the teams, or perhaps just establish an open line with Nike?
There’ll be so much money floating around it’ll be like the United Way is getting their own TV contract.

Once Nike got hold of the English Premier League (Soccer) it was all over. Boring, unimaginative, cookie cutter, one style for all teams type of jerseys. They have a monopoly and the arrogance that they can just churn out garbage and the fan(consumer) will blindly buy it. Sigh…

Slightly off-topic, but I can’t believe in this day and age of stymieing political correctness that Washington is still able to get away with their team being named the Redskins. I figured they’d have changed it to the Washington Warriors or something by this point, so they could at least still keep the Indian motif. Either way, their uniforms are atrocious and every time I watch one of their games I feel like I’m going to see commercials for “All In The Family” and Jordache bell-bottoms during time-outs. Time for an update.

I can’t wait to see the Eagles in the butt-ugly green uniforms that Oregon wore this year.

Just how bad can Nike screw up the star on the CowBabies helmet?

ya,
if they touch the silver & black raider jerseys
they’ll be riots from LA to the Bay ,
thats the only team you can watch a game of in the 1960′s and then watch a game of in 2012 , and be like oh the silver and black team,
yup thats the Raiders.

=================================

Really?
What about the Bears, Packers, Chiefs, Browns, Lions, Colts, Dolphins, 49ers, Cowboys…
Do you see a big difference between their uniforms from 45 years ago and the ones they wear today?
Even the Giants and Jets came to their senses and went back to their old look.

Not every team changed their uniforms to sell jackets and jerseys to gang bangers you know.

Let see, Oregon uniforms on the Boise State field. WOW way out man. By the way I do have an Oregon jersey with feathers on the shoulders. Had more fun watching those teams than the scripted political NFL. Used to like the NFL, but things have changed, and not for the better.

I doubt there will be dramatic changes, but to say the logos and colors are owned by the teams as the reason is bs. Logos and colors are owned by the universities and colleges is college football…how is that working out.

This is a long time coming. Coaches and players alike prefer Nike over Reebok. From cleats to athletic apparel, Reebok is an inferior product.

Can the Vikings go back to the 1970 look! Simple is effective… Hate the altered one…..

My vote is for the Chargers to wear their Powder Blue unis more often. And make them throwbacks again with their numbers on the side of the helmet.

Then again if Nike is making all these supposed changes.. nevermind. They’ll just destroy what makes it special.

I wonder if Nike will do special “dry-fit” 3 piece suits that are made out of 20 % lighter material then the previous reebok JDR ones.

If they burn the Eagles 1933 baby blue and yellow throwbacks, I’m in favor of Nike.

go to throwback style. Vikings throwback is so much better…hell even their 1990′s-2005 design was better

Yup, just the Raiders. Well them and the Jets, Colts, NYG, the Rams are practically the same, Steelers, Eagles, Cowboys, Chiefs, Packers, Vikings, Lions…and about a hundred college programs.

@ Mrs. Smith,

Really?

because I could have SWORN i saw all those teams wear alternates at some point ,

Philly wore a nasty blue/yellow collabo, they have various shades of the green they wear

Steelers – have a black/yellow alternate they sport from time to time

Jets – have different helmets from back then in 80′s

THE LIONS? – they just changed their uni’s , u dont notice that Lion Suh wears is not like the one Barry used to wear…

anyways, my point was that the Raiders other then the 1 AFL throwback anniversary year in 2009 , PRIMARILY rock the same uniforms 24-7, more consistent then ANY other team – that is fact.

as far as college programs go , they change jerseys pretty much all the time, especially with the new wave of Nike alternates & Under Armor.

alright Martha Stewart?

is that enough clarification for you .

the bills need to change when was the last time you saw a blue buffalo. and anything they do to the browns would help. the only team i see that matches in color and name is the bengals. maybe that is why alot of people dont like the bengals uniforms. because there team dont

Please, change the Packers’ uniforms – they suck.

You can start by going back to dark blue & gold.

Get rid of the stupid “G” (is it “greenbay”?) and think of a better logo.

Im in advertising and ill say this…if the league lets nike redo all the uniforms designs it will be a huge mistake. The nfl already has throwbacks and subtle changes throuout history but all are subtle and clean. Keep the teams branded as they are. It has resonated to the fullest with the fans. Last thing we need is another xfl.

Cleveland needs to wake up. Change the colors AND the name of the team. Here’s why…
First, the Browns uniform is consistently voted the worst in the league. Worst team and worst uniform needs a makeover.
Plus, the Browns and Paul Brown divorced. Paul Brown went to Cincy. He wants nothing more than to pound the brains out of the Browns. History is history. But some things need to change because of circumstances.
How stupid for the Cleveland Browns to still carry Paul Brown’s name and personally selected colors. The Brown family has made Cincy home and the Paul Brown memorial stadium exists in….CINCINNATI! He even mocked Cleveland by making his Bengals orange. It makes Ohio look pretty dumb! And, the “Browns” look dumbest of all. Suckers for ancient history.
Cleveland should wake up ans start anew! NEW UNIFORM. NEW COLORS! NEW TEAM NAME!

I hope Bengals switch their jersey color to Orange…I like Black jersreys but 90% of the NFL wears Black at some point Orange should be main Black should be alt.
