    Only one progressive design in the top 10 selling jerseys of 2011 (Tebow - duh..):

    A "change" obviously sells jerseys (and any team could change regardless of Reebok or Nike's status) - but I see no proof progressive designs outsell classics.

    Well any time there's a change in jersey style naturally you're going to sell more jerseys so fans feel up to date. This is why the Cleveland Cavs changed jerseys every week when Lebron was there. "Yeah, you've got that Lebron jersey... but what about THIS one??!"

    No one wants to be the guy at LP wearing the red titans jersey that never was- but just think about how many were floating around at first. They sold a ton of those and they werent even on field.

    Deuce, you continue to ignore the fact that the NFL has extremely tight rules (that they just made even tighter!) about alternate jerseys. Are teams going to start wearing one-off alternate uniforms like Oregon does for bowl games? Definitely not. Right now, teams aren't even allowed to wear their official third jerseys in prime time games.

    I don't care how powerful you think Nike is, the NFL isn't going to just reverse all the rules it has in place that dictate how this stuff works. The NFL knows that Nike has the power to get to some of the weaker teams, so the league drew up a bunch of rules to prevent this stuff from happening.

    Nike is a manufacturer and nothing more. They might be able to convince a few teams to change their primary uniforms (in fact, I'm sure they will be able to do this), but we are not going to see a world where uniforms are constantly changing and teams wear radical one-off alternates, like in college football. The majority of teams will make no significant changes.

    Since you are so sure about your position and so am I, we should probably make some kind of bet or something.

    We have the worst helmets in the NFL. Well behind the Browns at least. Time for an upgrade.

    Nike doesn't have to break all the rules to be creative. Teams get 1 alternate. That's enough for Nike to put their footprint on things without even touching the home/away.

    But I guarantee you Nike will pitch (and score the rights to) special uniforms for certain causes. (Cancer, military, etc)

    There's actually a rule that specifies that alternate uniforms (excluding throwbacks) have to follow the exact same design template as the primary uniform and are limited to official team colors. That's why all alternates (again, excluding throwbacks) are just recolored primary uniforms.

    What you are proposing (special uniforms for cancer, etc.) is against a specific league rule. A rule that the league just tightened a few months ago in preparation for Nike trying to do exactly what you think they will do. That rule will not be changing any time soon.

    No camouflage uniforms, no state flag colored uniforms... none of that stuff that you see in college. It's all against NFL rules.
