CrazyAnna Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 How and why did a Jaguars uniform thread get Ramjacked? As for the 2012 uniforms, I don't seem how changing brands would magically lift or change the NFL's current uniform rules. If anything, it seems the NFL is becoming more stricter. I just find it impossible to believe the Jags will have brand new uniforms in April since they just changed them. I stand by my thoughts that they are only getting newer Nike materials, the stripes adjusted to look better, and a black 3rd alternate.

BBTV Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Who knows if the rules apply with Nike taking over though.Well that's certainly a possibility - albeit a slight one. Of course we don't know for sure because none of us have seen the actual deal. The thing to keep in mind is that the "rules" are there for several reasons. Among others, 1 - to give the league time to work with all of its other licensees (toy makers, board game makers, bed sheet makers, anyone who uses official files) time to implement the new designs into their products and retire their old ones, 2 - to get all of the advertisers up to date (TV commercials, those stupid pennant flags that have a beer sponsor logo on them that are in every bar, etc, and 3 - to make sure the team isn't just rushing anything only to say "oh wait, we shoulda done this", oh well, we'll change it next year.It's a lot of work for the entire league when a team changes up, so it's doubtful that Nike could wield that kind of power that they'd get an exception. They're really not the big factor in all of this. Again, I'll admit that it's possible, especially if they made the deal sweet enough for the league, but it's unlikely.

I thought the same thing until the equipment manager changed his tune on whats going to be changed. He went from telling us for sure what was happening in great detail,to a wait and see approach. Anything is possible when you get Nike coming in and a guy who shelled out 760 million dollars for a team that wants to change the uniforms I'm sure the NFL can brush those rules aside.

It's hard to say since none of us are involved in these closed-door discussions. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gr3g3 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 All the signs are pointing towards new uniforms, but I understand the previous rules seem to prevent it. Maybe the rules will be applied the year after the Nike take over? Who knows. We'll find out eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll find out eventually.I just don't see what makes Jacksonville so special that the NFL will allow them to break a rule that they are very strict about. So strict, they wouldn't allow the Broncos to switch home and alternate (a uniform which already existed) just because they didn't ask by a certain date. Other than jersey sales dropping (like I mentioned above), I just can't see completely new uniforms. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jags equipment managers complete change of tone and Blaine's tweet lead me to believe a change will happen. Hey, maybe I'm wrong, but that's just what it seems like.

Claystation360 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Im pretty sure drew said Nike is making the uniform's not new ones. Just saying but I would love to see some new ones. Blaine could simply be talking about the new cut design with the striping or the black alt at most. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would be out of the question for the league to allow a team to change their uniforms if the current set doesn't transfer well onto the ProCombat template.

I thought it was going to be some sort of new Speed uniforms. Regardless, it seems all they are doing is just ensuring the stripes match up better and a black alternate. Maybe we will see some leaks soon. The Pike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justinthered Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 really any change would be a good change. If it's just a tweak and not a full redesign, do they still have to wait 5 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claystation360 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 We are going to speed Machine unless something has changed and yes tweaks can be done be done year to year. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 If the Jags uniforms do change, I hope they keep the current number font. I kind of like it, has an interesting look to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claystation360 Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I agree I miss the old font this current crap is blah. It's ok but not for the jaguars it's not the nice clean look we've had for years. All I know is I want more Gold and I'm looking forward to the ready to rise event tomorrow. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waltere Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 blaine gabbert just tweeted he was at a nike football photo shoot and the new unis next year will be nice. so they might be getting all new unis after all.https://twitter.com/#!/BlaineGabbert/status/158755276944707585Well, thank god.Considering it was a Nike shoot, he could just be talking about the cut/materials/fitting of the new brandYou think this guy thinks that a new uniform cut is "niiiiiiiiiiice"?Didn't necessarily say it was what he was talking about, just pointing out that it was possible and everyone seemed to be jumping to conclusions 1 hour ago, BringBackTheVet said: sorry sweetie, but I don't suck minor-league d CCSLC Post of the day September 3rd 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lights Out Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I think it's just the old ProCombat template with a thicker collar, and the Flywire is moved to the collar. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
