ONUV Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 a poster on volnation who knows inside stuffit will be announced this week that Nike and New Era will be taking over the NFL contract after adidas/Reebok didn't win the bid. They will be focusing on their recently renewed NBA and NHL contracts.Nike wasn't thought to be a serious bidder on the NFL contract until they lost the bidding war for the MLB uniform contract last summer.

Cujo Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Nike taking over the NFL should be verrrry interesting. Ready for some real Pro Combat, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rams80 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I for one welcome the fleece pattern on Rams jerseys, as well as the random piping they will adopt as part of their cry for help.

TopCat Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 What was the deal with uniforms before Reebok? I've seen Puma, Nike, and Champion Vikings jerseys before, and a bunch of other brands too. facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsox Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 What was the deal with uniforms before Reebok? I've seen Puma, Nike, and Champion Vikings jerseys before, and a bunch of other brands too.The teams agreed to deals individually.I'm reeeeaaaalllly hoping the outcome of the Nike change will be more soccerish and less NCAAish.New Era I'm not sure about. Will we see more of the ty looking low profile MLB playoffs type hats or more 5950 style hats...or something new completely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopCat Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Makes sense, but then if only one company supplied the uniforms, why have I seen so many different brands making the same jersey? They didn't switch suppliers that often I hope. facebook | @thebugcollector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're talking about the NFL, after all.As always, correct me if I'm wrong, but that was my understanding. It's where I sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy B Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I think this will be good for the NFL. I'm not a fan at all of the new cut Reebok has been pushing, especially how it makes the Colts stripes look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illini1 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm sure all NFL teams will have Pro Combat uniforms. Major upgrade from Reebok IMO. What year does the Nike deal go into effect? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scraw28 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I had no problem with reebok, I just hope Nike don't get crazy again with uniform redesigns (like denver's makeover, pittsburgh's rounded munerals and green bay's sleeve stripes).

chestnutz Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm sure all NFL teams will have Pro Combat uniforms. Major upgrade from Reebok IMO. What year does the Nike deal go into effect?The new rights would take effect after next season. Nike was last on NFL fields with uniform rights in '01, and has since been visible in NFL games only through footwear and glove rights. erikas | go birds | dribbble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Nonononononono.Nike led us to garbage such as the Broncos uniforms.Nike has ruined college football with its "black for black sake" and obnoxious patterns that have no regard for team history.And Nike is evil.

BBTV Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Don't the teams have the control of their identities? Nike / Reebok can bring all the wacky designs to the table that they want, but it's up to the team to decide if that's the image that they want or not. I can't believe that the league would do anything dumb like give Nike free creative control over the whole process, or put in the contract that each team will wear a wacky Nikefied uniform at least once per season.

carlosgg6 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Call me crazy or stupid, but the pro combat jerseys was the first attempt of Nike to convert Football jerseys in Soccer Jerseys, changing the "complete" shirt every year, in other words, more sales.That´s my point of view.

carlosgg6 Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Which NFL team do you guys think goes absolutely "Nikefied" out first?Maybe the Jaguars, they didn´t have an historical jersey because their "short" history, so they can make experiments with that team who (with all the respect) doesn´t have many followers, and see how they reactsEdit: The Panters are the other candidate, for the same reasons.
