Booger Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 How did they botch up the NFL uniforms? The NFL has to be the most important uniform/jersey in their stable one would think. With those "collars" they added to both the Bills and Skins jerseys they kind of make you focus on one area vs. viewing the uniform as a whole. Uniforms are meant to flow, not have that one specific area....kind of annoying IMO. Surprised they did it and surprised it made it through the 79 "sign offs" I am sure they had to put them in place.

zow2 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Yeah, i agree about those "tuxedo" collars on the jersey's. I'm not feelin' it. Usually NIKE comes up with some great ideas but this isn't one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SACKMARINO Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 For what its worth, the new Bills' NIKE T-Shirts suck too. Love the designs of them, but after about the 2nd wash the lettering/swoosh/logo all start to crack and come off. Dissapointing for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FleaMoulds80 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I like the collar and I didn't find it distracting at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UConn James Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 (edited) From the step forward they took with re-design last year, that took it a step back. The collars look like stevestojan. Nike can think they're an avante-garde but time and time again has proved they're not. 'Oh, the wide collar will be mostly hidden once the uniforms are on the field,' they said. I'm going to live with the mentality that it's a tribute to Kent Hull's neck-roll. If I were to get a jersey now, it would be a throwback.

metzelaars_lives Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Why did the Bills wear white dress shirts with the collars open under their uniforms last night? Other than that I didn't see anything remarkably different about the new uniforms. But I would definitely like to see them not wear those anymore. Or at least button up the collars for next game.

LabattBlue Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 It looked like every Bills player had one of those horse collars on. Just another example of some creative design jerkoff who doesn't understand the KISS principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

metzelaars_lives Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 It looked like every Bills player had one of those horse collars on. Just another example of some creative design jerkoff who doesn't understand the KISS principle. Apparently the Packers aren't wearing those ridiculous collars. I'm an old school dude. I think unis were the best in the 1980's. Sometimes I realize teams have to change their duds- Pats and Bucs being good examples (although I think old school will come back someday and the trend will be to revert to a simpler look). But nothing pisses me off more than change for the sake of change. Those white collars look absurd. Who are the ad wizards (Seinfeld/SNL reference) who think they look better than last year? I hope people aren't going out and buying these things if they already have last year's Reeboks. My George Wilson jersey I got last year is just fine with me. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Ramius Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 You guys realize those collars are nike's fault too, dont you? All nike jerseys have the flywire collar. The new collar didnt work (from a technical design standpoint) with our tri-color collar from last season. The bills tried to keep the tri-color collar, but it looks like ass now because the white stripe is too big, due tothe flywire. They needed to ditch the tri-color and go with a simple royal blue collar. Other teams have the collar too. So nike deserves just as much blame.

eball Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Guys, guys, guys...this was SO addressed when Nike introduced the new uniforms earlier this year. Any team that has a multicolored collar and implemented the "flywire" system for the Nike uniform now has a solid color for the "V" portion of the uniform because they can't do multicolored. The Bills' collar isn't solid white; it has red and blue stripes around the top. Whether you like it not, that's why they look that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The collars look fine when they are a solid color. The multi color collars look terrible. I saw some of the bears game last night, their collar is 100 percent navy blue and it looks fine.
