Nike's uniform designs for 2012

I don't know whether this has been discussed before or not. If so, I apologize to everyone, and mods, you can lock this. But I just needed to vent about it and see whether anyone else feels the same way.

Nike is getting the uniform design license for 2012 ( and probably beyond). The proposed uniforms for 2012 for all 32 teams are on nfl.com, here:

It's not final yet, but in my opinion, the unis are uniformly hideous. I certainly hope that ours are not really going to be like this! I love the Maryland crest, the colors and style, and definitely the black helmets. What is shown is really horrible. They even reversed the Raven logo on the helmet!

Thoughts?

These aren't real dude... Just because someone gets the uniforms licensing doesn't mean they get to change the designs of the uniforms, it just means they have the right to manufacture the uniforms. These were just some creative concepts.

Wow... that is wow, words cant describe how ugly those are, pretty sure they aren't gonna change the uniforms into those though... not sure but i dont think it works like that.

Lol the Redskins uniform is god awful. Those aren't even really their colors.

Well, that's a relief! Thanks very much for the reply. It should be illegal to "create" something so ugly.

These are the same concept uniforms from about 3-4 years ago.

They're crap. Nike has too many designers - a corporate downsizing is clearly warranted.

This is football, not the catwalk.

This story has been debunked years ago.

Those are some dudes rendering and Bleacher Report ran with.

Nike has not released any concepts yet.

NFL is conservative, I don't anticipate many changes when Nike take over
It's not the freaking XFL

Biggest change I remember were the Jags a few years back

Thanks again for the replies. If this is the case, as I suggested above, we should just go ahead and lock this thread. Mods?

I don't think I like any of these designs. Who would dare change some of the teams timeless traditions?

It will be interesting to see the what kind of non-jersey sideline gear that Nike puts out. I doubt the uni changes much but Reebok has made some really nice official sideline gear the last two seasons. I hope Nike can keep that run going..
