Nike Destroys More Uniforms

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

Apparently Nike has come up with a new disaster for Thursday night NFL games. Absolutely disgusting.

Don't adjust your set...

There came a point in history of Hollywood where the film making founders lost control to the lawyers and accountants. That's what's been going on in NFL. The Rozelle 'football guy" has been replaced by the souless bean counting marketers like Goodell who now make you watch TWO commercials on nfl.com before showing you a highlight. A fan is just another bacterium to be cultured in their lab dish.

less is more !!! this is too much !!!

 

[G- RUnit]

Or how about that RU was a trend setter!!! 2006 uniforms were a fail from the prior uniforms but why quibble?

 

[BoogieKnight]

Actually the Bills and Jets Thursday night uni's aren't awful. The Browns new ones are atrocious though, especially the names down the side of their pants. Why go orange when you are the only team in the league that has BROWN in your color scheme? I really hope this doesn't become the trend in the NFL too.

Didn't Cleveland often wear orange and brown already? The jerseys are still brown.

college jerseys can be funky once in a while (special games, special rivalries, holidays, etc), nfl jerseys should be classic

 

[Tango Two]

I don't know what is worse. The mess they made for Rutgers, or the fact someone here approved them.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

Just awful.

Did the Bills steal our slammin' salmon jammies?

That's it. I'm calling our home unis, "Salmmies" from now on.

 

[MGSA99]

Whatever happened to road whites?

I love Jacksonvilles gold uniforms... Times are changing...there's no more loyalty or tradition. As a 30 year old, I want the best looking jersey out there. Nike is doing a great job

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

Everybody had different tastes, but Nike is even taking liberties with teams' colors IMO.

 

[jersey07080]

I really like jets and bills unis tonight. I like the color vs color. No need for white unis after the invention of color tv!

 

[ClassOf02]

It's like Christmas exploding out there.

 

[MozRU]

Is it Christmas Eve??

They look like Christmas elves!

BAHHAHAH!! What a joke

 

[Piscataway]

Looks like a bunch of M&Ms playing football

Is it Christmas Eve??

They look like Christmas elves!

BAHHAHAH!! What a joke

Moz my wife just walked in the door and she says, "O are they doing this for the Holiday's". LOL They look like sh*t. I'm glad the Giants are done with Thurs. games. Nike just goes to far, keep this crap for Oregon. NFL is selling out with this crap keep it traditional they make enough money they don't need to sell more jerseys. For anyone who likes these go watch Star Trek this is football not a fashion show.

 

[MozRU]

Once universities, the pillars of tradition, whored themselves out, it was only a matter of time before the evil empire followed.

I am only 38, but God I miss the 1980s.

Was a PR guy.

So who knows what he would be doing if this was his time now.

 

[RUHotTrumpetMonkeyLove]

The kids love these. Definitely going to help the Jets and Bills with recruiting.

 

[G- RUnit]

Jets look like Ohio U. Perfectly fine.

Those Bills red unis look more red them Rutgers Red.

[Phi_1055]

Awful for colorblind people.

 

[lighty]

it looked like a battle of elves out there to me...

 

[ClassOf02]

The red elves won.

PR is ok...a good PR guy wouldn't be getting people to hate the NFL. Is it good PR to bring people to your site and make them watch 2 video commercials to see a highlight? Is the extra coin really worth it? I don't think Pete Rozelle would have blocked the Border Patrol from taking print ads in programs either - while saturating football in gambling and cancer.

Pete quotes:

"People are interested in pro football because it provides them with an emotional oasis; they don't want football to get involved in the same types of court cases, racial problems and legislative issues they encounter in the rest of American life."

"I'm not saying that the press is wrong to report any internal differences we have, but at the same time, I think it's our job to keep them from becoming public issues, for anything that detracts from the purely athletic aspects of the sport is bad for us.

"I'm not claiming that football is the nation's salvation in this area, but it's one of them, one little thing that apparently has captured the imagination of a large sector of our society. But when football can't be a relatively pure outlet, a fun thing, then it hurts itself."

"Color Rush" jerseys...this generation's Zubaz.

 

[RU62]

Rozelle had it right years ago. The Rozelle quotes presented certainly illustrates how far off center the game has become. I too thought the same regarding the Christmas reference. Also reminds me of the Italian or Mexican flag. Just needed the referees out there in white!

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Was I the only one who had an intense urge to buying a coloring book while watching this game?
