Give it up Money.  You got a team back, won a Sueprbowl, and have multiple playoff appearances.

Don't bother.  He loves his Ravens *and* insists on clinging to his 1983 victimhood.  I asked him which he would choose between 1) his Ravens or 2) the Colts never leaving Baltimore, and he refused to answer.

Oh yeah, the "new" uniforms are being revealed tomorrow.  Mostly should just be Pro Combat versions of the current uniforms.  Carolina and Seattle are getting some new looks, but that's about it afaik.  Some stuff, like t-shirts and hats (New Era, they seem to be mostly fucking hideous) and shit, is already available in the NFL store.

I've got like a closet full of Bengals Reebok gear now.  I had overheard that they were going to try to keep using it as long as they could get away with doing so, but maybe they've changed their minds.

The teams?  They'd probably get fined if it got spotted.  Heh. 

I heard Reebok tried to hock some Tebow Jets jerseys and Nike is suing them or some such, since they don't have the rights to do that anymore.

My take is that they think (or thought) they can get away with it for small stuff like t-shirts, shorts, socks, etc., especially for workouts, practices, and mini-camps.

So far most of what I've gotten is cold weather jackets, hats, rain gear, warm-up suits, and a couple pairs of shorts.  Would like to see some shoes, socks, t-shirts & some more shorts come my way but nothing yet.

Yeah, they probably wouldn't be able to get away with it (like it's a terrible crime or something) for long, and it would probably just become more of a hassle than it's worth.  That's some nice swag you're getting out of it though, so whatever, right?  :P

So I guess they're still unveiling the uniforms right now.  The only one I've seen detailed is the Seahawks', which to me doesn't look bad despite the mostly negative feedback.



Most or all the others seem to have changed very little.  They did have a group photo of all the uniforms but it looks like they're slowly starting to release pics of each team: http://mediagallery.usatoday.com/Nike+unveils+new+NFL+uniforms/G3645,A12043

E:  The most important uniform:




The collar is different, along with the gloves and shoes of course, but that looks to be it.

Well, I don't like the neon green of the Seahawks, but besides that it's fine, I guess.

Lol, the main uniform thread over on the official Bengals forum degenerated into a pissing match over whether "Bengal" is a noun or adjective.  Thought I was here for a second.

The problem with the Seahawks uniforms is that the colours will always remain ugly, so the design doesn't much matter.
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.
