Gobbi Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 4 hours ago, BringBackTheVet said: I'd have to see numbers to know if they're really selling jerseys based on this. I can't imagine they're really making an impact, just because the market is already so saturated with alt and special jerseys as is. I fully expect the Eagles to be in gray, and I think it will look great - but will people who already have green, white, or (*ugh*) black run out to buy a gray one that may never be worn more than once? Speaking as an Eagles fan who lives in western Canada, the only reason I'm looking forward to Colour Rush is for the potential of a new Eagles jersey to buy. Since the one helmet rule came into effect eliminating the potential for throwback alternates, this is the first chance of a new on-field item to buy. I'm as excited for the potential of a new grey jersey (or even a throwback inspired jersey in midnight green) as I was for the one-time 1933 and 1960 throwback jerseys. I will run out and buy a Colour Rush jersey even though I have green, white, black, 1933, 1960, and even a white & neon Pro Bowl Barwin jersey.

Gothamite Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 3 hours ago, BrandMooreArt said: so why would all 32 owners buy into this? obviously for more revenue. but that cant come from apparel sales alone (from the color rush angle) i think its about butts in seats at games (add to this the money people spend at the stadium) and eyes on the tv Here's where I think you're wrong. I think the apparel sales are indeed enough for them - that's the only reason they have throwbacks and alternates, after all. Unless you also think casual Cardinals fans, say, come out in extra numbers for their black jersey games. Because I would need to see hard numbers demonstrating that.

guest23 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 This has nothing to do with ticket sales. The vast majority of tickets sold in the nfl are season ticket packages (aside from the bottom level franchises) so the attendance is already locked for thursday night games. If anyone remembers last winter, the league put together a task force together to reinvigorate their floundering Th night package. That task force was made up of all their top strategic partners in addition to league office members with the goal of testing new marketing activities to grow interest and tv ratings without risking the established Sun/Mon product. Off the top of my head the two major outcomes of that activity is nike/color rush and the streaming deal with twitter. I'm sure they spent a lot of time on how to properly market to those picky millennials as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YelichGraphics Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Rumors are going around buffalo that this... ... will be the bills helmet for the home opener. I looked at this and instantly said no because of the one helmet rule but im not sure if that rule changed in any way shape or form Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LAWeaver Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Maybe it's the lighting or something, but that doesn't look... Terrible. I mean, I wouldn't want Buffalo to EVER step foot on the field wearing that, but add an extra white stripe to the helmet stripe and make the facemask black, and you've got a somewhat decent helmet there. @loganaweaver - Twitter / @loganaweaver - Instagram / Nike Vapor Untouchable Football Template / Logan's Logos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dont care Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 We don't know how well the wraps would able to stay on the helmets. The wrap could possibly easily come off with any type of contact to them. We don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it with a hockey helmet for fun at work, and it stays on fine. The problem is contact will cause the vinyl to come off, it'll have holes, and won't look as good.

lahaye7 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 There is a helmet company that sells temp wraps, I can't see why NFL teams can't afford these once a year. If it tears during the game, so be it. Might give the helmet a gladiator look. I am sore,wounded, but not slainI will lay down and bleed a whileAnd then rise up to fight again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you put a wrap on a helmet shell you have to remove all the padding then reassemble each helmet which means refitting each player. At that point you've negated the so called safety benefit of the one helmet rule and might as well allow multiple helmets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
