DeFrank Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 If the Packers are making minor tweaks, as they reportedly are, then no team is safe from at least small Nike changes.See, I don't mind those changes. Nike could end up revolutionizing NFL uniform cuts for the better. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTernup Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I've heard that the Chiefs' TV numbers will move farther up the shoulder and the yellow and white stripe will be moved up the sleeve (not really sure how to imagine that one)This better not happen, I love our numbers on the sleves rather than the shoulders. As for the stripes, the only thing I could imagine would be USC style stripes, which would be absolutely terrible!

nuordr Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 I'm crossing my fingers that the Pats get a huge overhaul. I may be wearing one of the current Flying Elvis jerseys now, but I hate the current sets and at least want to see a red home uniform and white instead of silver.Just my view on things.Likewise. I've never liked these uniforms, and I'll be disappointed if there's only minimal or no changes.I guess I am in the minority but I loved their current set. The only thing I would like to see changed is adding a stripe or two to the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the stripes, the only thing I could imagine would be USC style stripes, which would be absolutely terrible!I'm guessing this means that the stripes will move from the cuff up to the normal sleeve placement, like the Browns' jersey stripes. This would probably force them to move the TV numerals to the tops of the shoulders. Speaking of which, I'd almost expect every team with stripes on their sleeves to move their numerals to the tops of the shoulders for lack of real estate (the Bears immediately come to mind; tough to fit stripes and TV numbers on a Pro Combat sleeve, but we'll see).

It will free up a lot of space and let the stripes actually go on the sleeves instead of being on the cuff or getting cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOldRoman Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I didn't know what thread to add this to, but according to a Bears beat reporter, the team will be wearing throwbacks next season. However, they will be different from any throwbacks they have previously worn. I guess that means something from the '30s or '40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothieX Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I'd love to see the Pats overhaul their look.The Krafts implemented the mid-90s unis with the giant flying Elvis on the should and the sublimated jersey stripes. So it's not like the team is adverse to something untraditional.The look now is a hot mess. I can stomach the home look, but the roads kill me.

Gothamite Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Nike's tweak in 1997 was conforming the sleeves as most Packers had already done years earlier. This photo is from 1991 (note the sock stripe):Many players had been chopping off the sleeve stripes for years before Nike took over the contract. The Boys from Beaverton just made it official.This is from the NFC Championship game, the second-to-last game before Nike took over the contract and truncated the stripes.Easier to justify a tweak when some of the team's most high-profile players have already introduced it.And actually, there were some people who objected at the time. But that was in relatively early Internet days, when protests were much harder to have heard. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

CrazyAnna Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Whoa! Those are crazy. But I could easily see them being one of Nike's "statement" pieces.At first thought, I agree. But the more I look at that horrible 1936 uniform, the more it reminds me of Michigan's throwback this season and then of course the designer, Adidas. I don't think Nike would want potential buyers to confuse their new product with something that resembles what Adidas did in 2011. My bet is that it will be the orange jersey used from 1933-1935. Whether or not they use the white helmet that was added in 1934 would be another question. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears wore those the last time they played the Cowboys on Thanksgiving unless those were a different throwback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bears wore the 1930's orange jersey on November 25, 2004. There goes the orange jersey then. One down. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hyundaddy279 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I hope Nike changes the Rams' gold to a more true yellow, like their throwbacks. I think their navy blue matched with the throwback yellow could be a great color combo. If this turns true, I also hope they unveil an alternate yellow jersey as well (someone photoshopped a version of this a while back on CCSLC and it was epic. Maybe if someone could find it, or mock a quick one up?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as pre-1960s throwbacks go, they actually aren't that ugly.I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
