Nike and the NFL

  • OSH
    Well, so long Reebok...hello Nike.

    They've started already. I didn't get to watch the Pro Bowl (oh well). But found that Nike did gloves for the game.

    No surprise on what the glove style is, but here are all 32 teams' gloves.



    And here's the one that matters...:cry:

    Those are dumb. Can't wait to watch every dumbass make the gloves a logo after a tackle/good play.

    Yep and wonder if it will be 15?

    dumb. Curious what the new jerseys will look like though.

    So the NFL is officially switching from Rebok to Nike?

    Yeah. There has even been reported that there was a jersey shortage for some teams this year -- for the fans. Reebok only made so many because they didn't want to have a surplus.

    There were even some of their new cleats worn in the Pro Bowl.

    I just can't believe (well, I can) that Nike is doing the SAME thing for the gloves they did for college.

    Can't they do something different? Why does it have to be the same scheme? I was hoping for something new. I know Nike has all kinds of marketing tricks up their sleeves...so, I am sure there'll be some dandies when they release the uniforms.

    why change it up not? there's more money to be made by doing the same thing for the NFL then changing it in a few years.

    I'm sure I'm in the minority but I hope they spice up the Browns uniforms. Goes against the grain of some old school "purists" but I wouldn't mind if they added cheerleaders too. :D

    Yes we know, thanks tubby.

    Now lets get back on topic and not let ETFail derail the conversation.

    I really like the Bills cleats, and the TB Bucs remind me of OSU, whihc I obvioulsy like.

    I understand that.

    I just think that it's like the NFL is now college football's illegitimate child.

    Yeah they're sweet. I figured the Bucs design would go with something red and black, though they'd look exactly like Atlanta's then.

    I like Detroit's too.

    As far as on topic, I like the fact that Nike has the contract, and I like both the gloves and the shoes. I see how some could see the gloves as "old news," but it's a "hot" item, as I see it.

    And it doesn't matter what you put coral and aqua on, it'll always look gay.

    Not really. Since Holmgren arrived it seems like the Cleveland "Browns" have become the Cleveland "Whites." All white uni's...very bland,

    I'm excited to see Nike's first big uniform design flop. You know it's coming
