I am not for all of those crazy revamps of the uniform but I do like subtle improvements. I like most of the newer NFL uniforms over the throwbacks because they look a little more modern. I am sorry but the old 2 colors with basic stripe design is way too bland.

The cut off sleeves are more for function than for look (less to hold on to). Because of the more functional sleeves the half stripes make more sense.

As far as pant stripes are concerned I rather like the thick pointed half stripes over the long and skinny tripple stripes. It gives the pants more color.

line of the day

Ha...this proves that you REALLY can't know anybody well over the internet.




On a side note, Angry strikes me as the type of guy who would be outside of my window WATCHING my wife and I get it on.

It's funny you mention the cut off sleeves being more functional, because it's less to hold on to, and then players are wearing long dreadlocks. To me, the hair defeats the purpose of having sleeveless jerseys. You can just yank 'em down with their hair.

I'm not a fan of the long hair either, but the cut off sleeves are more to protect against holding than tackling. The sleeves are close enough to the front of the body to grab a hold of and sometimes get away with doing it. the hair is on the back of a player and if he were to be held by it, it would be pretty obvious.

Now I'm not saying that the cut off sleeves do not benefit runners because they do, but you will see more D-Lineman wearing them.

Actually though, I don't believe it's a penalty if a player gets pulled down by the hair. From what I've heard, it's fair game (I don't know that for a fact thought.)

I had heard that it was a part of the uniform, I think it may have changed with the Horse Collar rule though.

It should be. LJ's tackle on Polamalu was great to me. Player's choice to wear long hair or a baggy jersey. If you give them something to grab, they'll grab it. Unless you're Marshawn Lynch...he grabs his own.

This guy swore up and down to me today that these pics were the Nike redsigns and they were on nike.com, it was all official.

^ well Nike has said they aren't BUT who knows honestly?? I just don't see the NFL allowing Kindergarden art on their uniforms I mean some are ok looking but let's be real that shit is ugly on the side of the pants and that 1 skins helmet was hidious.. In fact don't teams have a say in the matter in the NFL? You know some owners aren't down for robocop looking unis.

Either way they're not on the Nike site, which is what I told him, gave him my phone to find it on.
