illini1 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Nice simple uniform. Good for Minnesota. Not Digging the black facemask, but that's about all.Same here. The black facemask is unnecessary, but it doesn't look terrible either. Really, it's not a bad set. As long as they don't start wearing the Nike-mandated black and/or silver uniforms, these will be just fine.The black facemask only looks good with the white jersey since the numbers and collar are black. Maybe they'll change the facemask each week to match the uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Only nitpicks are the black facemask and the double-outlined "M" on the helmet, but all in all a very nice look.I agree. I love the solid numbers but don't like the outlined M. Since I've seen that M for a while, my guess is that is their brand but it would look much cleaner with no outline.

DC in Da House w/o a Doubt Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 "These are way too over the top! NIKE is out of control!" - Nike Grass Throwers.I don't think anyone's saying that, mainly because these are far out of the ordinary compared to all of the bat craziness that Nike has put out in recent years.That was the point man. I guess these things get lost in text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Other than the numbers these are a downgrade. They simply went back to what they wore before their last set and called it a day. Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had my druthers though, I'd set the maroon/gold combo as the permanent home uni and the white/maroon as the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnWis97 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 So the only black is the facemask? Weird. No reason not to just make it maroon. Disclaimer: If this comment is about an NBA uniform from 2017-2018 or later, do not constitute a lack of acknowledgement of the corporate logo to mean anything other than "the corporate logo is terrible and makes the uniform significantly worse."

The Golden One Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 So the only black is the facemask? Weird. No reason not to just make it maroon.Well also the Shoes, socks and the brick pattern on the number are black. Doesn't look that out of place to me.

scottysprings Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I think my biggest gripe with Nike's recent uniform redesigns is the insistence on mix-and-match. Just because you can have three pairs of pants doesn't mean you need three pairs of pants- it dilutes the brand (especially the white pair). Kudos to Nike though for not insisting on multiple helmets (though I wouldn't be surprised to see the Golden Gophers bust out a white or gold helmet at some point next season, hopefully not). Also agree with the sentiments regarding the black facemask and double-outlined "M" on the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winghaz Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 I really like these. I especially like the Ski-U-Mah at the bottom of the helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cshookemHORNS Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 This should show everyone why we shouldn't be afraid of Nike NFL 2012 because it proves Nike can be simple yet effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Yes, although I really dislike all the mix-and-matches. Too many combos dilute the brand, and we already have too much of that in the NFL. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

aawagner011 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I think Minnesota looks pretty decent. I have to say, though... One thing I'm not a fan of with the more recent Nike designs is the general lack of pants striping. It seems like most new Nike designs don't feature them. I'm not saying all teams have to have them, but I hope we're not seeing a trend moving away from them completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
