phutmasterflex Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 So they're treating TNF games like some kind of special event that warrants special unis? SMH. That's not a good look for the league-- and likely not a good look for the teams playing Go A's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest23 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 So they're treating TNF games like some kind of special event that warrants special unis? SMH. That's not a good look for the league-- and likely not a good look for the teams playingGiven the program's lack of full acceptance among the traditional nfl audience in addition to the push back from internal parties I think the league has opted to make TNF a working laboratory for the league to make tweaks. If adding one off unis to the mix can drive some incremental viewership it seems very likely that the league will go for it at this point as they seem willing to do anything to turn a profit off this time slot.

I love the idea. I hope it's alternate helmets as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest23 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 I hope it's alternate helmets as well.Don't hold your breath.I'd say it's a 50/50 proposition. Given that it would be for the '16 season there's enough time for them to revise their one helmet sham policy based on either: additional medical research or new helmet technology thus allowing the league to gracefully back away without acknowledging there was no scientific/medical/logical basis for the policy to begin with. The only reason not to is that the league staunchly believes that the helmet (color to be precise) is by far the most important visual branding element for its franchises and no changes are to be made unless it's part of the official redesign process.

PhlyBoy Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 One thing I just noticed this past week was that the Packers have finally switched over to the Nike style of pants. They are still using the non nike (Ripon maybe?) template of jersey cut, and for the last 2 years with Nike (has it only been 2 years only?) they still wore their old style of pants, but now this year they have seemed to switched over to the Nike pants with the mesh in the stripes. Hard to tell, but if you click on the picture to enlarge you can see (especially on Flynn #10) that it's the new style. Didn't hear before this that they had.

djam2410 Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 ^ and I will shed a tear if the Packers are forced to wear some Nikeified uniform when they play a Thursday night game maybe they will do a throwback if that is allowed (which i hope teams that dont want an alternate will decide for) Cal Bears | Miami Dolphins | Cleveland Cavaliers |@dcjames5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldschoolvikings Posted October 7, 2014 Share Posted October 7, 2014 It's hard to picture teams like Green Bay or Oakland indulging in that kind of nonsense. Like the Yankees' response to those horrific and silly TATC uniforms, I'm sure they'll just opt out. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Yankees' response to those horrific and silly TATC uniforms, I'm sure they'll just opt out.If it's required as stated in the tweet, they wouldn't have a choice. And Nike wouldn't give them throwbacks. It might be "throwback inspired" pro combat-type crap like tOSU's giant clown stripe unis, but they would be highly templated and the epitome of Nike. I would hope it doesn't pass, but the fact that they would even vote on something so ridiculous shows just how much the NFL sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
