The new Nike apparel 411

[BillsCarnage]

As expected nothing significant.

It won't be as innovative as what Nike has done with some college uniforms. Although some teams are making tweaks -- for example, it has been reported that the Seahawks will add some feather trim and the Jaguars will make black their primary color -- no team will have a bazillion different helmet and jersey combinations like the University of Oregon does.

"Team logo [and] color changes have to be approved by the clubs and the league," NFL vice president of corporate communications Brian McCarthy told SI.com. "Aside from that, I really wouldn't want to get into what the unveiling would look like. It's Nike's unveiling, so I really wouldn't want to step on their toes."

More likely, the change will be in fabric composition rather than aesthetics. The jerseys are expected to be more performance driven.

the seahawk players are buzzing about the alternates ..... as someone who was hoping for a simple throwback that makes me a little disapointed

given the fashion sense of the young, rich, athletic types it makes me a bit nervous to see what it will look like ........ i'm not sure something being "ice cold" is a good thing or not........

it's also looking more and more like they are going towards a metallic silver/gray type color to replace the proprietary blue on their helmet and may even have some kind of striping on the helmet (in oregon style)

Looks like the feather trim is starting with the helmet striping

I hate the Cardinals black jerseys, nothing is sacred, I want to see the old school whites, you know the uni that is recoganized as the CARDINALS for a century or so.

Seahawks can be all glowing stupid lime for all I care.

It's good that the jerseys are not going to look like that they are made for guys who weigh 300lbs anymore. That was probably one of the primary reasons I have never owned more than one NFL jersey.

Minor tweaks, I see. Not bad, but could have been better.
