Check Out What The Players Will Be Wearing At The Pro Bowl

The folks at Nike are taking over the NFL's uniforms starting next season. While the uniforms won't be changing all that much, the Nike people will be adding a few things. Yesterday, they released pictures of the new "Vapor Jet" gloves that teams will be wearing this season.

If you go to their FaceBook page, you'll be able to see all of them. . .but let's get real. I know there's only one picture you all are interested in. So, here it is:

Yeah, pretty sweet looking, if I might say so.

I wouldn't expect any radical changes from Nike on the uniforms otherwise, though. . .certainly nothing like the "concept" drawings that were floating around the web a few months ago, in any case. I know a lot of folks aren't huge fans of the uniforms that the Vikings went to a few years ago and that they should go back to the jerseys they wear for "throwback" games. Maybe this will give them an opportunity to do that. Who knows for sure?

I certainly would love...

… the Vikings to adopt the throw back jerseys. I prefer the home jerseys that didn’t feature as much yellow (gold) as they tended to in the 90s. I also miss the old away jersey with the purple and yellow shoulder stripes. Are teams only allowed to wear throw back uniforms for home games? Would be cool if they wore the old away shirts. I liked the new uniform when it first came out, but prefer the old helmets – non metallic purple, 2D horns, grey face cage.

Yeah I agree

the uniforms we had before this new switch were better I thought. I don’t really like it when teams constantly change their uniforms.

Offensively, defensively and special teams, from the No. 1 on the roster to the last man on the roster. We just aren't good enough. It's as simple as that." - Chad Greenway

So this is the ProBowl Thread?

Funny how the most interesting item is the outfits. I admit I watched the probowl for long enough to see the gloves. Those are cool, but that’s about it. The game itself is a joke and essentially made a mockery of the game of football yesterday. I wanted to see Jared Allen get a few sacks, but when everyone stands around and doesn’t even try it basically turns into a 7 on 7 drill, which is what it was. I liked that teams did onside kicks and went for it on 4th down all the time, but this is ridiculous. I would rather them just have skills competitions and leave it at that. If they’re concerned with getting injured, then lets not even play the game because guys can still get injured. Some people played like it was must-win, others not so much. I can understand JA taking it easy because there’s no reason to start embarassing OTs and destroying QBs. If I cant tune into to see our pride and joy do what he usually does, then please, NFL, don’t even attempt to humor me with this game.
