I see that there. posted:

Because it's better than the alternative.

That said, I'm a Packer fan, and it's not like they're going to really gently caress with those unis - the more dark green on gold, the better. If I was a fan of another team that was about to be altered I'd be not so happy.

Embrace change you old codgers, drat.

Good news, the Seahawks are getting new uniforms, presumably outside the general Nike re-design!!

The people I know at Nike say the new uniforms look pretty boss. I guess they're changing some of the equipment too. The example I was given was the socks. Reebok basically just used a lovely tube sock, the Nike socks will have extra padding and space age materials and they will clean the players' houses and stuff.

The worst thing is, she sees the new Seahawks logo every day but can't tell me anything about it and my impotent rage knows no bounds.

They shouldn't. Mostly those minor tweaks to Seattle (gray pants???) and Carolina

I think the biggest changes are the swaps to Nike gear all around. They're changing things like socks and pants to offer more padding and what not. The explanation I was given was that Reebok basically just used a tube sock. Nike has some form fitted stuff with padding in certain places and more support etc.

I actually really liked the bright green jerseys too. They had so much more identity then the standard blue ones did. You'd always know what team was playing with the Neon greens.

Blame Jim Mora.

Because they lost that game, and because Jim Mora is a poo poo coach, they retired them immediately afterward.

I wish all throwbacks were ridiculous as gently caress. This is at least a better reaction than uniform changes in the college threads.

"UHG, that shade of white IS SO MUCH WORSE THAN OUR OLD SHADE OF WHITE"

"What were they thinking of giving us double stripes over the shoulders, we have had single stripes forever. ITS WHAT DEFINES US"

This is basically the reaction from most TFF posters WRT NFL uniform changes too.

Well I got my Nike jersey in and it's definitely better than the $100 Reeboks were. That's not saying a lot since they kind of sucked, but its an improvement.
Here are some pictures.


On the actual jersey this is made up of seperate cuts of fabric. It's really the cheapest element of the whole thing.

Pliable plastic NFL logo. I'm not sure why they didn't just use a fabric patch like Reebok.

Like I said, compared to Reebok's bottom end jerseys, they're pretty high quality. The material is thick and doesnt feel super cheap. My biggest gripe is that EVERYTHING is screen printed on to the thing. Literally nothing is patched or dyed on. From a distance they look fine, but up close you can definitely tell it's the baby version.

Verdict: Spring for that mid-range or better if you're buying one. If we hadn't gotten these for $50 I might be less pleased than I am.

They're slightly smaller than the Reeboks, mostly in the arms and the fat gut section. If you've got a giant belly, go bigger on the sizing.

Dri fit shirts are just awesome all the time. I can't even wear regular t shirts anymore.

The Seahawks new unis annoy me but they are at least better then the ones they had before. I like the blue shade better and it at least has some distinctive marks. The "beastquake" era home unis were dull. Except for the bright green ones. Those ruled.

Jim Mora Jr retired those immediately because the team lost the only game they played in them (against a good Chicago team).

One more reason to never stop saying, 'gently caress Jim Mora Jr.'

edit: Not sure why I thought they played that game in Chicago. Whatever, the point stands.
