Nike, New uniform provider for NFL, 2012.

[Simplicity]

As some of you may already know. Nike will take over Reebok's job at providing uniforms for NFL teams. Nike plans on changing or adding to Team's current UNI look. This new deal between Nike and NFL will start at the beginning of the 2012 season. BEFORE anyone starts looking up Team's new nike uniforms. All the ones made on Google or on the internet are not official and just "fan made". The release date of these new uniforms should be somewhere in one of these articles...

Why do people want to see black on the Chiefs unis? I just don't get that at all.

Why not? Try it for a season... it doesn't work, switch back. There would be a temperature difference for the players though, since black absorbs more heat.

On second thought, we need every edge possible. Screw the black pants.

Because black is so kewl. It makes you intimidating and tough.

I read the other day the first Nike NFL jerseys will hit the shelves in April, likely to coincide w/the draft. I see #91 in my future...

Would look cool IMO in Red for the Chiefs.

I like that flat look as well... I hate the shiny, reflective, USFL looking crap.

They are closet Atlanta fans. Not true Chiefs fans.

Exactly! No extra black is needed. Remove the yellow and replace it with... Nothing. Red and White no border looks great.

I Agree about using the all red socks, but I'm not sold on wearing them with the red shoes.

Kind of a sneak peek at what's to come if anyone cares. Just a random guy on reddit.

My store is getting in approximately $250,000 worth of Nike NFL jerseys. Here are the things I can legally share with you.

Ok, so here's the dish. I have not been told much, but there are still some things I cannot say. So here are the things that Nike doesn't care about me saying, in a 100% confirmed setting.

Not super important, just confirming a post earlier this week; motto will be included in the neck lining of the jerseys. I don't know if Nike knows the motto of every team yet. I was not informed.

Jerseys that are not due to be changed will not be changed. Fairly obvious, but some people expected a rule exception since the company is changing. No exception. If you have gotten your logo, or any part of your uniform changed in the past 5 years, you will receive no actual design changes.

Jerseys will be much more slim. Nike is shying away from the fat & lazy American football fan look that Reebok had. No long will jerseys be straight down from the shoulders. They want a more fitted, sleek look to the jerseys. Personally, I approve. Expect to order a size up from what you normally buy jerseys at; I usually buy a Medium because it still fits like a dress on me. I will most likely be buying a large of the new shipment.

Silk-screen is OUT. Sort of. There are still two levels of replica jerseys; stitched and not-stitched. And as far as I know, the not-stitched will still be referred to as silk-screen. They are not, however, thin material anymore. Nike doesn't want anything remotely cheap associated with their name, including the material used for their lowest quality jerseys. The new silk-screen jerseys will be more like the Reebok stitched material, but still an iron-on number, logo, and name. The new stitched jerseys will probably be slightly more durable, but with less of a dramatic change.

Price hike! AWWWW YEAAAAAH! Don't worry, I make no more money off a price hike, as I have to pay more for them, too. Expect the new jerseys to run $100/$130 for silk-screen and stitched, respectively (As compared to the $80/$110 of last season).

So, some tips! First off, buy quickly. I've noticed an extreme drop in Reebok jerseys from last year, ever since Nike announced they were taking over. This suggests that everyone is saving up for a Nike jersey. Just because Nike now owns the contract and can produce much more than Reebok did over the past year does not mean that every store near you will get the shipments they want when they want it. Always remember; limited supply keeps business running. Buy right away.

Second tip! You want cheap jerseys? Well, don't look at me. I want full money. That being said, I can tell you what store owners do; As soon as it looks like no other Reebok jerseys will sell, they will put them at half price. SOME stores do this. I repeat; SOME. So, find those some before everyone else, these will be extremely limited. A second option is to find a friend in a different state. Some stores have too much of a player from another team, and discount those jerseys when they realize. In example; I had about 90 Tony Romo jerseys. In hindsight, that was silly of me. I work in Detroit. Half price. (I still only sold about 60 of them). Find things like that.

Anyway, that's it. Happy shopping.

Cool. I don't buy jerseys anyway but I like Nike and seems like they know what they're doing.

Also, 250k in jerseys? How is that even possible? Even if stores were selling them at cost, that's still about 2500 jerseys. What store gets that many?

Yeah, I wondered about that. Maybe some sort of a chain, and he works in corporate?
