2012 NFL Uniform Thread - Nike takes over

[Monkeydad]

Most of you are aware that Nike is taking over for Reebok for this upcoming season. Uniform unveilings are scheduled for April 1 (no joke) but we should be seeing leaks from now until then.

Here's your first leak, the Miami Dolphins:

Sean Smith shares glimpse of new Nike jersey | ProFootballTalk


It appears the same fabric used on the Pro Combat uniforms in college are being used for the pro teams. Hopefully the designs won't follow.




Could that Swoosh get any bigger? Geesh.





Also, Nike has already released the team cleats for 2012:

I expect the Skins and MOST teams to stick to about the same basic designs from 2011. Nike does not control the branding and designs, it must be approved by the league.


I expect the Seahawks and Jaguars to be the teams that really get the Oregon, crazy Nike treatments.

The Carolina Panthers have a new, tweaked logo.

Not bad but for a skins fan it'll be pretty much the same

I think they purposely lower the bar for a year so when they try the hats look amazing by comparison.

......totally worth it.

Didn't the Panthers tweak their logo last year? It's a barely noticeable difference to me, but I suppose it's a big one to people who are very familiar with their old logo.

I thought that dolphin sleeve was a beanie when I first saw the thing. I actually like it slightly more now after realizing what it is.

Thats funny I had to back track after reading this - I thought the same thing and wasnt impressed - the swoosh didnt look rite for a beanie - but yeah sleeve looks good.

I don't want to be biased, but I think the skins cleats look the best. Patriots look like crap. They are just shoes so it doesn't really matter that much.
