mbannon92 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 Tried on a Bears game jersey today. Liked the raised shield, the thick numbers, the smaller sleeves, and the fact that they got the TV numbers right. However, it fit terribly in the shoulders. I don't even know how to describe it, it just wasn't right. Nike + CFL 2015 | 2015-16 NBA Concepts | Complete College Football Redesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSky Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 The Saints' small popup shots that show when you hover over a player's roster listing are in the new Nikes, making them all look like coaches in polos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been interested in the Falcons one for a while but never been able to try one on.Didn't get any pics (plenty have been posted over the last few months). The problem with the shoulders I guess is that they're really stiff and they don't really move with your body. I'm not sure if it's the thicker material or the cut, but the jersey raises up over your body when you raise your arms, whereas the Reebok jerseys (or any shirt) move with you.Other than that though I definitely prefer them to the Reebok jerseys. They fit more like a shirt than a drape. Nike + CFL 2015 | 2015-16 NBA Concepts | Complete College Football Redesign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest23 Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 It's sad that the Seahawks practice jersey looks better than their game jersey:(image clipped)The Jags practice jerseys are better too....what is the criteria for a team deciding on its practice jerseys?..it seems that nothing more than random selections...some teams really try to mimic the game jerseys whilst others opt for nzero related elements between the two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CitizenTino Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Given the almost universal disdain for those collars, I wouldn't be surprised at all to see them gone within a year or two, probably under the guise of some new 'peformance-enhancing' uniform technology.

I've been good with them, so maybe this won't be an issue for me. But like you, all the new stuff has had me excited for the Nike takeover. I want fan gear that doesn't fit like a dress and fits more like a normal shirt. I like the look of the material and the more durable numbers. The rubberized NFL shield is pretty neat. Maybe I will get one soon. Anyways, thanks for the info! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennisbergan Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I believe the Raiders are wearing black shoes this year. The late Al Davis was always a stickler for his traditional AFL-era white shoes, so its obviously a new day in Oakland.That would likely put the totals at 22 NFL teams wearing black shoes and 10 wearing white.

Cleats may either be white or black, according to the style guide or whatever matches team colors.As for Raiders in black cleats, I don't like it. I am a huge fan of teams wearing white cleats Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I didn't really think about it until now by I'm surprised the teams that opted out of the new uniforms didn't choose /or weren't offered alternative cuts like the kind Texas uses or WV or LSU. I would imagine those would be an upgrade comfort wise to green bay/Oakland etc and haven't seen it discussed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like they'd want to get everyone into at least one of their templates. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would be an upgrade marketing wise, in that they would allow Nike to say "look at that awesome custom Nike template!" That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaydre1019 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 The raiders an packers jerseys look like theyre from 1995 very tight and not stretchy. In hs we got Nike uniforms senior yr andrew Rawlings and russel the previous yrs and they were far more comfortable and tighter.I just find it a little odd that they wouldn't be available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's a good reason that they chose to stick with what they had. You have no idea what was and wasn't available.
