Nike Making Horrible Changes To NFL Uniforms?

by Cowboys

Reebok’s contract with the NFL runs out in 2012 and that is when the Nike will become the NFL’s official uniform supplier. Nike officials had said that they plan on making some major changes to NFL uniforms… and if these are the actual Nike designs, they weren’t joking.

Skimming through a message board I came across the horrible designs that are claimed to be Nike’s ideas for the NFL future. If these happen to be legit — which is not guaranteed — I will not be able to watch an NFL game without falling into a vomit inducing coma due to these atrocities.

View the 32 NFL team uniforms after the jump:

Neither the NFL nor Nike have confirmed that these sketches are indeed finalized, in fact, I don’t even think the two have begun discussing the details of uniforms. It’s possible they are just looking for feedback or some random guy on a forum drew them up. Look at their idea for the Cowboys:

Horrible right? I think that may be the understatement of the century. All that is missing is jetpacks. I really hope none of this goes through. I can’t even begin to imagine the outcry if these really are Nike’s poor attempts at “improving” NFL uniforms. Their NCAA Pro Combat jerseys make these look like masterpieces. Now there are some nice ones like the Rams (my persona favorite), Falcons, Raiders, Bills and Texans, but for the most part they are awful.

What is even more discouraging? It gets much, much worse than the Cowboys redesign. Maybe these really are Nike’s ideas or maybe they are not… regardless, have a look.

Go through the next few pages to see all 32 NFL teams re-designs and wait until you see some of these pants! I can’t imagine a grown man wearing them.

[UPDATE: These these are a forum users ideas and not Nike's.]

NFC East:

Eagles:

Giants:

Redskins:

I think the Packers, Browns, and Saints uniforms look okay (the Packers and Browns didn't change much at all, and the Saints changes were minimal) and, despite others' opinions, I actually like the Jets uniform, at least as an "alternate" version. The rest are hideous. As others have said, thank God these aren't for real.

Oh, and while I'd love to see Tampa Bay go back to their old colors (red and orange) and logo, the uniform shown here is awful.

these jerseys are amazing whats your deal are u on crack?!?!? :) :0 people are stupid these days

I wonder if the designer of these unis is a Browns fan. Theirs is the only uniform that he didn't mess with. And he went to great lengths to really crap on the other uniforms from the AFC North. The Bengals? One of the worst things I've ever seen and the Ravens and Steelers are just flat ugly.

These unis r so cool. They r so much better than the ones we have now. A few suck, bengals/redskins, but most are really good.
PS Did the Browns uniform change?

I am a dolphins fan, and i actually like the new design, dolphins need change. Some other uniforms on the other hand...

I think they are all very slick. I'm a huge throwback/ classic-look fan, as well, but change is good. They look sleek and defining. My only critiques are the Steelers, Jags, and Bills could use some work. Not digging the stripe on the Steelers arm, but being a Browns fan, it's alright if they look dumb. Speaking of the Browns, there is not much change at all to there current jerseys. The plain look they have is my favorite, but if other teams are getting facelifts, then they have something different, as well...

I'm 22 and the majority of those jerseys are god awful. Stick with tradition.

You are all complete morons. This is not real. Here is the proof...

do some legwork before making fools of yourselves

It clearly says that these aren't real designs. It was just a topic for discussion. Do some legwork ;)

They are the best uniforms I have seen in a long time! ANd if you dont have anything to say nice about nikes new uniforms dont say anything at all!

We're in 5th grade again? This is a comment section for a reason. Comments can be both positive AND negative.

There are a couple losers (Steelers/Patriots...), but the majority of them are decent looking, and I welcome them.

why does everyone hate these uniforms i think they are awesome!!!!!!!

I like the Dolphins, Patriots, Jets, Jaguars and Colts new design.

THIS IS THE XFL!!!!!

Truly horrendous. I had no idea that NFL uniforms needed to be improved upon, especially in this way. Oftentimes, simple is better.

Couldn't agree more. My favorite uniforms are always the throwbacks. This futuristic nonsense is way too much.

I dont think the new uniforms are alright for some of the teams. They are unique. Now the Bengals there new look is a little to much

Nah I'm thinking the Buc's/Vikes/Steelers got it the worst out of all this

Huge improvement!

I like most of them, but Chicago must have the "C" on the helmet, San Diego must have more powder blue, Cincinnati confuses me (that tiger is much too abstract),
Seattle must have more funky green, The Raiders must have silver pants, and the Chiefs must have more red.
My vote for best is the Browns, Eagles, and Pats.

If these aren't NIKE's designs, whose are they? Where did you find them?

They've been floating around multiple message boards and I have seen so many people claim they are the ones that made them... no one really knows.

Wouldn't shock me if Nike released them on a message board themselves in hopes of getting public reaction.

I agree the pants suck, but I like the jersey and helmet of the Cowboys.

the Cowboys' pants are terribly designed, should be a solid Gray or Navy Blue.

I would be furious if anyone messed with the Cowboys uniform. It's something you just don't change. Same with the Raiders and Steelers.

most of them looked great but a i have to say there are some that look way better the way they are now ie: the colts

God these are ugly,they tried so hard to make them different(look like arena league uniforms), I can't see the new design keeping the players anymore healthier; hamstrings, broken bones, cartilage damage etc...(maybe the helmet has better hit absorption) but why the change??
Did you see the Chiefs yellow helmet?? haha

Not as bad as the Bengals!

Definitely not as bad as the Bengals...my top 3 worst designs are:

3.)Bears
2.)Steelers
1.)Bengals

top looking 3 are:

3.)Broncos
2.)Redskins
1.)Raiders

Yeah, I think the worst were Cincy, Pittsburgh, and Minnesota.

I loved the Rams, Raiders, and Texans.

the bears would be fine if they put either the bear logo or the C on the helmet

I know right...that's why I don't like it, as no relevance to the team

the Vikings uniform reminds me of LSU's color scheme...doesn't really fit w/ the Vikes traditional design.

As a Broncos fan, the helmet presented should be an ALTERNATE uni. Go with the current color and "menacing bronco" for the helmet. Only use the white and "Big D" once or twice a year...

They have to be kidding! Those uniforms are God Awful...they really messed up the Niners, at least get the colors right!

I hope and pray, Buffalo bills new uniform, does not go threw, please try to make it darker, the blue perhaps, or else we will be the joke of the league. please nike.

we already are the joke of the league, but i agree make em darker..the helmet is sick though

Yeah, that Bengals concept was probably the worse. What in the world was going on there?

you guys are crazy old people. these uniforms are sick, i hope these are real. did you see what nike did to college uniforms those are awesome and these are just as good, they are so much better then the stupid boring plain uniforms they have now. like the one you're wearing. how do you think thats cool its blue with white letters... sick.

"Ooh neato!!" says young Bob Dillion as he jerks his little meat stick. Sensory overload leads to cases like his. Sometimes less is better. You'll grow up......someday

@bob dillon

You do realize that these are just the result of a project that they gave to some intern at Nike who vomited his idea onto the old pro combat unis.

Way to go Nike, you have given me more reasons to drink (heavily) on Sunday.

I prefer the classic uniform look. It's just a cleaner design. The NIKE uniforms in college are pretty hideous. It's all opinion though.

Some people like the tradition, some people like Arena football looking garbage

The Benglas uniforms are sick. The pants are amazing. I love almost every uniform... people need to be open to change. I hope that Nike goes with these uniforms, as they are bad to the bone. Absolutely LOVE the Bengals and the Seahawks! WHO DEY!

LMAO at tiffany, you dumb bitch those are the two ugliest uniforms I've ever seen! I hope you're kidding

Wow, a little close minded are we? You have your opinion, I have mine. No need for the nasty remarks.

As a longtime bengals season ticket holder I think I've been through more than enough horrible sights on the paul brown stadium turf, if whatever the hell that uni was ever made it onto the field I think I would probably rub the jalapenos from my $7 nachos in my eyes, but id prolly buy more $7.75 beer!!!!!

Thank god these turned out to not be Nike's actual ideas... that would have been horrifying.

BENGALS, STEELERS, RAMS, RAVENS are the worst, all the others are dope and need to be kept, I mean who would have thought that you could meake the raiders, jets, and patriots look better
