seahawk9 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 More suggestion of a blue helmet for the Colts.I'd be more concerned with the amount of BLACK than a blue helmet. Plus, I see the Seahawks denim blue is missing, hmmmmm.Ummm, it's the navy that's missingNo, that's our dark blue.Now the blue on the shoes of the Seahawks looks Royal Blue......I'm so damn confused now.....

IceCap Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 I really find the amount of straw-grasping going on in here rather hilarious.The Panthers logo was pretty obvious, we all saw that, but some of y'all are reading WAY too deep into this stuff and are using photoshopped images of gloves and cleats to try to ascertain changes to team colors, helmet colors, what have you. How about let's pump the brake pedal here for a quick second, put the genie back into whatever team-branded, swoosh-adorned bottle you had it in, put the lid back on it, and set it back up on the shelf.(Or, y'all can continue to grasp at the straws, if not the entire bale, and give those of us who know better a little something more to laugh at.)Alternative response: PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy B Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 It's funny how this thing has blown up in such a short amount of time. Just because a team is going to have black cleats doesn't mean their whole color scheme is changing. Last year almost every team wore black cleats. And trying to decide what color any of these cleats are is not going to work. The images are photoshopped and Nike always uses crazy lighting in their unveilings. With that said, I'm happy to see all of these colored cleats. I hope all these teams wear them, I think they'll look really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember, teams have to be predominantly white or predominantly black shoe teams. Earl Bennett was fined because he wore orange shoes. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Bingo. Teams are either black-shoe or white-. These wouldn't be allowed in games. Like the "automatic 15-yard" gloves.

Lights Out Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Can't say I like the Chargers' cleats. I wish there was more powder blue on them and less navy. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lights Out Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Teams are either black-shoe or white-. These wouldn't be allowed in games. So why would Nike go through the process of designing team-color cleats for every team in the league, if they can't be worn in games?Maybe the NFL has finally relaxed their ridiculous cleat rule?

sportstar1212 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Now the blue on the shoes of the Seahawks looks Royal Blue......I'm so damn confused now.....I believe it's navy blue. Maybe adjust your monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can sell as many pairs of cleats and gloves as the public will buy. Doesn't mean that they can be worn on the field.Reebok was selling on-field and sideline merchandise, which only takes you so far. But Nike is prepared to brand any matter of lifestyle wear in team colors, so they'll be able to exploit the license in ways Reebok couldn't have dreamed. And this, boys and girls, is why Nike was willing to overpay to get the NFL license. We wondered what Nike would be selling to make the contract worth twice what Reebok was used to paying, and now we know. Shoes, for starters. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

mbannon92 Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Those Giants cleats are gorgeous.And everybody...please stop overreacting. All we've learned, and all we will learn, from these gloves and cleats is that the Panthers have a new logo. The Colts and Vikes have always used black on their merchandise, black cleats mean nothing.

Billy B Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 If Nike is able to get the NFL budge on any of their uniform rules, I'd bet the cleats would be where it is. The NFL's Main goal with their uniform rules are establishing a brand for each team and consistency within each team. Wearing colored cleats would not go against either of these goals. Yes, Earl Bennett was fined for wearing orange cleats this year, but that's because the rest of the team was wearing black. I'm not saying that the rules are getting changed, but that's one area that I could actually see the NFL willing to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_RH_ Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 I think the Chiefs' cleats are interesting. That yellow looks very dark and the white looks very grey. Surely that's just a lighting issue...right? RIGHT? RIGHT?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIGHT?!?!The gray in the Chiefs cleats looks (LOOKS) like it's the same color used on the Lions and Jets, and nothing at all like the white on the Chargers. What does it mean? No idea.
