LISTEN TO WHAT I HAVE TO SAY AS IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT!
I wish the Saints throwbacks were something other than uglier versions of our current uniforms. I didn't like the gold jersies, so I wish they'd try a new look for an alternate uniform.

It is gorgeous, but the midnight green's grown on me. It's been the Eagles' color for most of my life at this point, and



Makes more of a mental connection with "Eagles" in my head than the kelly green.

I kind of like the Eagles uniforms, but gently caress the drop shadow on the numbers. No drop shadow ever for anyone.

The new Bills jerseys are fantastic. Especially considering how much of a clusterfuck they'd become.

I could actually get behind that, although it's not like the Pack's current uniforms need improving. That would make for a sweet alternate, though.

And yeah, the Bills' new uniforms are awesome.

I don't like the shoulder stripes in the Bills jersey. Not because they're there, but because they just stop abruptly at the seam of the sleeve. The rest of it rules though.

Sleeve stripes have been ruined for years as jerseys become more and more like glorified tank tops. The 49ers are another good example of this. Three puny stripes and they can't fit?

I'm kind of torn on the old Seahawks getup - the Blue and Green are the exact same level of brightness and the silver doesn't really help. It has its problems (that insanely specific shade of blue) but the thing I like about the modern Seahawks uni is at least the blue and green contrast each other. Maybe if they went for something like this?



(Apathetic Seahawk cracks me up, seriously what is with that eyeball)

gently caress this. I love the current Seahawks uniforms. The blue/grey home one is my favorite. And I even enjoy the neon green alternates too.

One part of Nike's uniforms at the college level that I find really interesting is their use of the undershirts. Consider what Oregon wore during the 2011 National Championship:



They put jersey numbers on the undersleeves, essentially turning them into a bonafide uniform component. I saw speculation on Uni-Watch that Nike might try to take advantage of that to give us "real" football sleeves again, sort of similar to



or



Of course, the NFL might need to suspend their rules a little, since they're currently obligated to place TV numbers on the jersey itself.

I like the jersey itself but the sleeve concept is mondo dumb and sleeves would get 1. pushed up by linemen to allow free movement; 2. pushed up by any defender facing the O-line to prevent holding; 3. pushed up by quarterbacks to allow full motion; 4. mocked by me

I think it'd be more of a "Design undershirts to have the look of the jersey" so IF someone wanted to wear an undershirt/long-sleeves they'd have a more seamless look. I can't imagine they'd make everyone wear an undershirt like that just because Nike thinks it's stylish.

Yeah I can't imagine something like that would ever be required, but it could be cool to see random optional stuff be cleanly integrated with the uniform like that.

I thought it would be cool if teams could have their home, away, alternates and a single "special" jersey that could be fuckin' ridiculous like the saints all white fan concept, or an all black or blue panthers uni or something. They let some teams where special old school ones. Why not let the expansion teams hold a fan vote or something to make something new and interesting.

I dunno. Just spit balling.

The panthers' uni would look awesome if you just changes all the black to chocolate brown. I don't give a gently caress that panthers aren't brown, I don't see any silver and honolulu blue lions either

All this jersey chat just made me go buy a Jay Cutler throwback. The Bears' throwbacks were so awesome, I had to get one since they're probably never going to wear them again. Here's Jay running for his life in it:
