NIKE NFL Uniforms

Tonight's toilet seat collar matchup: Buffalo vs. Minnesota

Will be interesting to see what pant/sock combination the Bills will wear tonight.

Those are both knockoff jerseys...

I wasn't sure if I was the only one who noticed. Decent fakes, but fake. Retail jerseys don't have patches. Or bunchy numbers.

Both of those jerseys are genuine authentic jerseys, not knockoffs, not fakes, not China Counterfeits ...

They were already checked for their authenticity by a Reebok insider, so you both can think and believe whatever you'd like.

In 2009 the AFL authentic throwbacks came with the stitched on AFL-50 legacy patches. The replica version were heat applied. Not sure about the Premier.

If one ordered a custom authentic jersey, they had the option of having the AFL-50 patch in 2009.

All authentic jersey numbers had somewhat smaller jersey numbers in the front than they were on the backside. The replicas were both the same size in both front and back as they were being heat-applied along with the AFL-50 patches.

The on-field game-worn seemed to have the elastic band taken off by the equipment mgrs.

I've seen the fakes and the China Counterfeits .... and these aren't them.

I'm sure Andrew Harrington will also verify all that.

The quality of customizing in Reebok's later years was really this bad. They look as bad as fakes, but those are legit.

Watching 2 classic uniforms with the Packers and the Browns and I must say the Browns have one of the worst looks in 2012. Their all-white uniform is really bland and bad.

I think it looks great...to each thier own though!

I suppose if anything, I'd be fine with orange pants being paired with the whites. It's the only jersey it works with in my opinion. I think they look awful with the brown jersey, never liked that look one bit.

The uniforms are pretty similar apart from the colors.

Similar but different executions. The Packers look great when they wear white because the helmet and pants match. Also, the green face mask and green socks really aide in the whole balance. The Browns in all white with an orange helmet just looks dated. I get the whole historic franchise theme, but it just doesn't look good.

Ryan Tannehill either has wet himself/insanely sweaty pits or the "cooling mesh" looks bad.

Probably both. It's Miami in August...there's something wrong if you aren't sweating. The "cooling" mesh seems to amplify the sweat.

But hey, who are we to stand in the way of progress. If the Nike jerseys are 2.3% lighter, we have to just accept the jerseys look ridiculous because, after all, marketing and brand image is so unimportant for sport teams. Pseudo-functionality fo the win!

Wait, it was raining exclusively on his belly and armpits. That south florida weather is WEIRD!

(Good going, Nike )

Now that is funny.

So there's two different fabrics at play here and one absords and shows water differently so the two fabrics look (and are) different colors when wet. That's dumb. Why don't they make the mesh parts out of the same "moisture-wicking" fabric the rest of the jersey uses? If you have to have air vents, why do they need to be a different material?

To emphasize that it's a super-advanced Nike proprietary template that the best athletes in the world are wearing. Or something like that.

Also so they can make it harder to much up colors like the greens on the Jets Home jersey. Ugh!

With the white training camp hat, it appears that there are some alternate styles..

This is all that was on the site but I know for a fact that the Cowboys style is in a blue color.

[tohasbo]

Here are some more...

whilst technically believe the entire jersey is moisture wicking, the dark portions are essentially paper thin mesh which are designed for venting where skin is in direct exposure to the jersey so they are extremely porous sections that allow heat and moisture to escape from...from an ideal perspective an athlete may want an entire uniform made of this material due to it's light weight and venting but the material is entirely too flimsy to hold up to wear and tear...this is why you have the lighter colored sections which are thicker and more durable covering the heavy contact/shoulder pad areas.

The only one I was not able to find was the Dallas Cowboys one but I know for a fact it is navy. The back sides do not have the NFL Equipment shield but rather the nickname in the team fonts.

Take your logic down a notch.
