I think they look like dull practice jerseys. But that's what all the recent Nike designs have reminded me of, something you might wear if you were scrimmaging in the mud.
These jerseys are like a long forced carry on a par 3, and you don't want to use a new Titleist. Grab a beat up Top Flite out of the bag. If you lose it, so what?
That's the attitude these uniforms represent. We need to change something. We're Ross and Dee. The quality or concept don't really matter. Fans are going to embrace change regardless, as long as it's our change.
Vikings win by open lengths, Dolphins struggle around the turn, further back than previously, while Jacksonville gets left in the gate, a true victim of Nike.
They won't be the last.
SkapePhin got it right...the old design would have been preferable in combo with the new colors. Somehow the organization managed to negate the improved aqua with needless changes like eliminating the stripes on the sleeves. That in itself provides the feel of a cheap practice jersey.
At least the positioning of the dolphin on the helmet is the most tolerable they could have made it, given the ridiculous motion sickness backward slant, the spit of toothpaste approach. Instead of tilting the head severely upward, as some versions have had it, it's mostly parallel, with the nose angled slightly downward. That was a nice save. I can almost guarantee it was a late change, after the organization heard comments. The angle on the helmet doesn't even match what has already been printed on shirts and hats, not to mention the logos used on the television networks, where our dolphin is poking upwardly at anyone who shares the screen with him to the right. It's quite amusing on NFL Network.
