The Merged x115 Adventures Of The Fashion Police Weekly aka THE Uniform Thread

[Sizzla3000]

Nike probably told teams that if they wanted the flywire then they had to have the stupid collar. That may be why some teams elected not to use the flywire at all.

I wish the Redskins would have declined like the Packers. The collars are atrocious. I hope Nike jersey replicas don't end up selling that well so they are forced to revert to the old design. I really wish I caught a Reebok authentic before they were gone.

The collars are stupid, but overall the uniforms aren't bad. They just seem a little fussy. I'd still like to see a modern redesign done. Even if it's just an alternate, I just want to see this team updated. We're already on the path with a young team and a rookie QB, let's go all in.

[Portis for 6]

All in all I like the uniform. For one I love how the gold pants looks with the gold face-mask, and our helmet in general. I agree that the Collar looks extremely stupid and out of place just make the collar all burgundy like it should also ALL burgundy socks (not striped) would be a big improvement. Though I like the "old school " socks, it's just they complement the "spear" and Lombardy "R" helmet better.


But to be honest. I really don't see whats wrong with wearing this every home game.

I agree, the collar flare looks terrible. I noticed the Bills had the same thing going so it must be standard 2012 Nike issue.

I saw Houston has the new Nike template and on their blue jerseys, instead of the horseshoe collar, they have a red collar all the way around.. but it's so thick it's distracting. I really dislike what Nike has done with the uniforms and hope they come up with something more visibly pleasing.. Does anybody know what is the purpose of the flywire collar actually is?

You still can.... nflshop.com. Only Really large sizes available tho. Maybe just frame it.

[RansomthePasserby]

Burgundy on burgundy is just about the single worst combination I've ever seen, from ANY team. Pro or college, Regular or throwback.

It's HORRID.

Hail.

The BonB isn't THAT bad, and let's be honest, some of the Eagles and Broncos alternates have been way, wayyyy worse.

[Park City Skins]

Ah the dawn of a new season. New players including an exciting,(understatement),rookie QB. Several returning players plus a few added vets. 1st preseason game after a way too long offseason is over so it's time to talk.....


uniforms. "Love what they're wearing." "They could wear what? Honestly. Can't take them anywhere." Present uni's look good

I believe it is supposed to hold the jersey tight against the pads and be more comfortable for the players.

Oh.. well that makes sense then.. BUT this is definitely a case of function over form!

So you're saying White on Gold for road games and White on Burgundy for home games? I like both of those combos, but I'd miss the burgundy jersey. I like that the team made the switch to wear it at home. The one home game where I'd like to see White on Burgundy though is Dallas. Every other home game, I'd like to see Burgundy Jerseys with Gold Pants.

For road games, I'd like an even split...4 games with White on Burgundy, 4 games with White on Gold.

I would LOVE to go back to this. I dont mind the Gold pants/Burgundy shirts but not a fan of Gold pants/White shirts.

I'd hate this. Yes, that was the combo of the glory years, but by the mid 90's on through the 2000's I grew to get sick and tired of the white on burgundy all the time. It flat out became depressing to see that basically 15 of the 16 games. I'm glad the gold is back! I think the white on gold is actually my favorite combo now. Having said that, I don't want the team to drop the classic Gibbs era look by any means. I just don't like the team wearing it 15 games of the season.

Like I said above...Burgundy Jerseys / Gold Pants for 7 home games. Against Dallas, White on Burgundy.

For the 8 road games, split between white on burgundy and white on gold (except for at Dallas where we'd have to use the Burgundy jerseys).

Eh, I think it just looks a hell of alot better. Was not much of a fan of the Gold pants, even back in the 70's. Oh, and no white pants, especially white/white. That was horrid.
