sportstar1212 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 We've been over this before. No flywire for the Texans. Why do people keep arguing they have it? I know it kind of looks similar, but do 5 seconds of research. The Nike site says explicitly that there's no flywire.People assume they have the flywire because they use the shape of the flywire collars.

drdougfresh Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 The Lions have those stupid collars? I hadn't noticed. Then why are they so terrible?Special teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 and 2010 . . .Yep, it's ugly. I don't know why they adopted the oversize collar if they weren't going to use the stringy things that it was built to accommodate. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

BrandMooreArt Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 my best guess is the Texans wanted the new jersey but didnt like the flywire. or (and im not sure if this is right, but) it seems if you want a jersey with a different color collar you automatically get the toilet-seat. if that true, they probably wanted a solid collar and the solution there was to ditch the flywire  GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE  /  MEDIUM /  DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bouj Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 If you actually believe that a new collar is fully responsible for the win/loss records of teams, then I'm not sure what to say. Also, not sure what you're talking about the Lions, they fully implemented the Elite 51 tech with Flywire. And those 5-0 Falcons! What with their vintage 2011 technology...they sure must be working overtime to overcome their severe disadvantage!It's no sillier than arguing the Orioles' success is related to their return to the cartoon bird or the Rays' recent run is related to their switch to navy/columbia/white. Whatever. I'm OCD enough that I look for patterns in everything even though I know full-well that A doesn't always cause B. Go Astros!Go Texans!Go Rockets!Go Javelinas!

Gothamite Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 But nobody is actually saying either of those. Except as a joke. The topic might not be so ridiculed if the original poster hasn't gotten some basic facts wrong, and hadn't said:Clearly, there is a correlation. But why?

STL FANATIC Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm not a big fan of the flywire collar because they're so thick and especially the way it cuts off. But it also doesn't bother me that much. It's just whatever.I continued to be bothered by teams like the Packers refusing to use the technology tho. They could have absolutely kept their exact same uniform design and been outfitted in better technology, and they pretended they were somehow too sacred to move from Reebok's 2nd best technology to Nike's best.It's just silly, and a bit stuffy.

Because i know tcu uses a similar template and they have colored fly wire collars. I actually think I like the texans look better this year, it might be because of the success but I think all the elements look a bit bolder. The collar looks just fine on JJ watt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 and 2010 . . .Maybe it's just me, but I look at the new jersey and all I see is much more space to slide a hand in and grab onto something, which, according to an earlier post, is something this technology is meant to make more difficult.

hecticbro Posted October 13, 2012 Author Share Posted October 13, 2012 Aha! So this was an ingenious theory after all. Maybe my initial conclusion was based on incomplete information, but it led to a very significant discovery - huge collars WITHOUT flywire are the optimal construction for on-field success, as demonstrated by the improbably unbeatable Texans. If Houston wins the Super Bowl, how likely is it that their innovation will spread like wildfire across the football landscape? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTnSocal Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 The Lions have those stupid collars? I hadn't noticed. Then why are they so terrible?And one of the teams that doesn't have flywire, which you neglected to mention, is the undefeated Texans. You point was stupid to begin with, but it's extra stupid because you didn't even get the facts right..It's NOT the Flywire that has been the main issue, it's the stupid toilet-seat collar design on so many of them with Flywires.I don't believe people care if it has the Flywire, what they do care about is how they've ruined so many of their teams jerseys with that ridiculous thick collar design that's pointed.
