In my short life, i have seen addidas, and nike make NFL uniforms. I'm glad they made the switch back to Nike.
In my closet is a vintage #3 Nike Jeff George authentic jersey, along with an addidas #8 Mark Brunell jaguars jersey from his very first year on the team...

Not sure what kind of dramatic changes can be made, but I look forward to seeing it.

Nike had this opportunity once before an blew it. The NFL essentially kicked them out because the didn't produce merchandise quick enough. I hope the learned their lesson.

If I remember correctly it was Jerry Jones that brought Nike in and had them produce the Cowboy uniforms and sideline apparel with out the NFL's consent. The NFL rebuffed and came to an agreement with Reedbok and that led to a season where their uni's and sideline apparel had no Nike logos on them, they were just shirts with blue and silver stripes on the coaches shirts.

Nike says they will do the NFL jerseys like " they did the NCAA's" What do you think Summo? Good to go flashy or keep it like it is now?

I hope they are referring to the materials used to make the unis and not the actual design. I know that NFL properties owns the logos and designs of the teams so I would imagine that any drastic redesign would have to be approved by them and the team first. I would also imagine that the league would have tighter reins on Nike and not give them Carte blanche like the NCAA has. Also don't forget that the Broncos redesign was a Nike one, from the logo to the unis.
