New Nike Pro-Bowl Uniforms

Unfortunately, this is not another fan made fabrication. This is the real deal, as being reported on ESPN.com. This sad attempt to put lipstick on a pig won't generate any more interest in the NFL's annual offensive player skills competition. Why don't they just give the NFC players Oregon helmets since they gave 'em Oregon uniforms.

The good news is- it's only our defensive players in danger of having to wear one of these things!

The Oregon rip-off one looks alright.

As someone on another site pointed out though - why have they made it Oregon vs Oregon St with the Unis?

I'm having Orlando Bile <sic> flashbacks uke:

What color are they going to make the flags that they'll be tucking into their waists?

Nike uniforms are just plain ugly. They are trying too hard. Stick to making shoes.

I thought they cancelled the Pro Bowl until further notice???

Besides the obvious Oregon rip-offs, those jerseys look like something I used to make on Madden's create-a-team option... like 10 years ago.

I have no problem with flashy pro bowl uniforms, it's not like they have tradition behind them anyways, would have liked keeping the red/blue scheme though.

The red/blue is gone because it isn't AFC vs NFC anymore:

Couple of silly rules too.

The NFL discussed that possibility, but decided to continue the event.

There will be some changes starting this year: no kickoffs (ball is placed on 25-yard line), and defenses can now use cover-2 and press coverages (was strictly man-to-man previously).

Looks like some bastardized version of Seattle vs. Cleveland

Nike needs to get out of the uniform business. Reebok had a knack for keeping things classic yet also contemporary. They also did a good job with fan gear. Nike evokes visions of twentysomething kids with virtual crayons.

Lot of hate for these.

I actually liked them! I think the NFC has a better one, but I'd buy a pats pro bowl orange/white jersey, and apparently would be the only pats fan to do so :rocker:

It's a fantasy draft so you might be able to get one of the Oregon ones with a Patriots name on it!

Might also get a scenario where you could see Clay Matthews playing against Aaron Rodgers.

The guy on the left looks like he has something wedged in his nut sack.
