shaydre1019 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Sorry if this has been posted already, but I've noticed since the start of training camp that many appear to be missing or covering up the NFL Equipment badge on the collars. I have also come across what looks like the outline of the Reebok logo on the chest in the same color of the jersey. Does anyone know anything about this?

MJWalker45 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 They've covered up that third chest logo for years. Hadn't noticed the NFL patch being removed. May be a protest by the players or it could be a move to simply the NFL logo on game day gear or a change in how they label them ahead of Nike taking over the contract.

TBGKon Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 That could be an actual on-field jersey, and since they slapped the ad on the front of it for practice use maybe the NFL Equipment shield cannot be seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 Even practice jerseys had the patch. Texans practice jerseys are almost exactly like their game jerseys. Previously they had all blue shoulders for white practice jerseys and screened numbers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eye Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 That picture looks photoshopped. Look at the numbers, they look like they were vectorized pretty badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted August 9, 2011 Author Share Posted August 9, 2011 Doubt it's photoshopped. But the logo is definitely missing, I've seen it in some videos online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pheer Posted August 9, 2011 Share Posted August 9, 2011 I think it's a combination of a fold or crinkle in the jersey and a funny camera angle. The 4 on the front and the 24 on the sleeve look fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 It was mentioned on Uniwatch that the NFL Equipment logo has been removed or covered up on practice jerseys this season for some yet-to-be-known reason.EDIT: of course, just as I type that, I come across this photo of Nnamdi which clearly shows that it's still there. Not sure why some teams have removed it and others haven't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEANS Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 I think it has something to do with teams having a sponsor on their practice jerseys, the teams without a sponsor seem to have the EQT logo showing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
