Team by Team 2012 NFL Nike Uniform combos

[canzman]

As ColorWerx stated in another thread the Gold pants are back in the Skins uniform guide... they have officially replaced the burgundy pants so the only options this season will be white or gold.

According to the Redskins Uniform specs pants and socks can be worn with any jersey due to this recent change of replacing the burgundy pants with gold here are the likely combos for 2012.

Redskins Color

Redskins White

Redskins Throwbacks

Cool!!

I like how the Redskins kept their collar solid burgundy on the home jerseys with the flywire collar. Wish the BILLS had done that with their royal blue jersey, as most Buffalo fans do. That thick white ¾ white collar is just grotesque!!

Has there been any 'official' update yet as to which socks the BILLS will be wearing with the blue away pants??

Nope... the guides state that they are interchangeable and the guides do not show the "white" socks at all. So it is still unknown if they are even an option this season.

Also, if the guides state interchangeable then there is now way of really know what options the team will go with. The only way to know for sure is on teams that do not make the statement that options are interchangeable. For those teams the combo in the guide is the only option, for interchangeable teams it is mix and match as they see fit.

Okay, well thanks very much for keeping us all informed canzman.

I really like that Redskins 80th anniversary uniform along with that helmet

If only they had used a solid white collar on the road jerseys as well.

I love those alt gold pants; the more Braisher stripes in the league, the better.

That's quite odd. I took a look last night and the gold pants were not there for the style guide. Yet again, I was also mainly looking for the main files for the Throwback itself...

Is there any reasoning to why they don't use two stripe gold pants to match the rest f the set? The three stripes bother me a lot.

[canzman]

It appears the Browns have updated their style guide since this thread was started as well and have gotten rid of the away pant with the thinner stripes on the side and will only have one pant option this season.

Browns Color

Browns White

Just a guess on my part but I think that the Throwbacks for this year are a one year thing due to the 80^th Anniversary and that they will be going back to the previous Lombardi era throwback next season. These pants will probably go with that set which is why they sport the 3 stripes and not 2.

Again just a guess on my part though.

Striped away socks for the browns?! That's great news. Now they just need a pair to wear with their brown jerseys.

Browns have had striped socks with the white jersey the past few years... they just going from this

to this

I'm beginning to wonder if the NFL has implemented a rule, perhaps since Nike took over, that a team cannot have more than 3 sets of pants including throwback/alternate??

That's the only reason I could think of as to why the Redskins would ditch their burgundy pants. Since the very early 80s they've worn burgundy pants for the vast majority of all their games, whether it be at home or on the road, so for them to discard them just like that is very puzzling.

Also, I'm wondering if all teams are going to be wearing the dual color-coordinated shoes rather than black or white?? Last year when the Bills did their uniform change, the following shoes were in the new style guide and template, yet black shoes were worn all season.

Now that you mention it going back I can only think of one team since 2002 when Reebok took over that has had more than 3 pant options in one season including a throwback and that was the Rams starting in 09 when they introduced their throwbacks. The other obvious exception would be the AFL anniversary year which I am not including, but other than that I can only think of the Rams as a team to have more than 3 pant options in a season including any alt/throwback since 2002.

to this

That's a downgrade IMO. The stripes on last year's socks matched the sleeve stripes on the jersey.

If that's not a rule, it bloody well ought to be.

Not sure how the rule reads this year but prior to this year the rule states that cleats had to be predominantly black or white and could contain one of the teams main colors as an accent, but that color had to be the same for all players on the team. Using the Chiefs as an example one player could use red as an accent while another used yellow.

So to illustrate using the Bears in 2011 they selected black as the predominant color and then would had to decide on either Navy or Orange as the accepted accent color and to the best of my knowledge orange was the choice.

My guess is this year for consistency cleats will have to be either the accepted Nike Team Color Elites or if the player opts to wear something else they would have to contain the same color scheme, example would be Panthers Black and Carolina Blue Elites so if a player wanted to use Under Armor Cleats (Cam Newton) they would have to be the same color scheme.

Or RG3's Adidas Cleats

Agreed. Actually, the rule should be two "regular" pants, plus a throwback.

I agree with everyone that having more than 2 pant options plus a throwback/alt is crazy but like I said above only one team has had more than 3 pant options in a single season excluding anniversary years since 2002, and that was the Rams starting in 2009.

Are you sure? Seems to me the Titans have 3, although you almost never see the white anymore. Also, Broncos (navy, white w/ orange stripe, and white w/ navy stripe) and maybe the Falcons (white w/ black piping, white w/ red piping, and black... I know they've dumped the black, but not sure when it happened).

I think you are confused in what is being said.

What I said is I agree that there should not be more than 3 total (2 base and 1 either alt or throwback) but I also said that no one but the Rams have had more than 3 pant options in a single season since 2002 not counting anniversary years.

Your three examples prove my point Titans 3, Broncos 3, Falcons 3... last time I checked having 3 is not more than 3

The only team since 2002 to have more than 3 options in one season not counting the AFL anniversary season was the Rams 2009 to 2011 (Gold, White, Blue and Throwback)
