The NFL/ and the other corporate stooges will do anything to get the fans to dish out tons of dough for stuff they don't need. At the same time, the NFL's product suffers from mediocrity. You have 32 teams, and only a handful are really good teams. So much for parity!!!!! Yeah it is parity alright, but most of the teams suck. But oh what wonderful new uniforms they wear, we must part with $200 to see a bunch of morons play crappy football.

First off, take a deep breath.
More than anything this is about the fact Nike won the uniform contract, and therefore redesigned them in their style.
If it were a true marketing gimmick, they would have put out totally new uniform designs across the board.
All of these "new" uniforms except for Seattle have just nominal changes appearance wise. The main changes are in the material.
