Heated topic as always, but first article that I've seen on the teams "choice" to keep them.

quote:

The Bengals don’t look that bad with the neckroll, since they have those “stripes” on the shoulders, but the Rams and Saints continue to look as bad as ever. These are the only three teams that elected to keep the Nike signature “neckroll” collar on their 2013 uniforms.

It's horrendous. The Saints practice unis look better than their gameday jerseys. I don't know how anybody at Nike sent that shite down the chain and said "oh, this looks great!"

Saints probably kept them for the mounds of bullshite people who bought replicas of those atrocious things would give them if they bailed on them in one year.

It looks like they're wearing a pinpont dress shirt, or a leisure suit. Nike changes things, just to change things. They know the uniform looks fine and most fans like it. However, I'm sure they have a team of designers on the payroll who have to do SOMETHING to justify their position. So, we get white jerseys that make the saints look like the count from sesame street.

Doubt they didn't change for the fans. They'd buy chinese knockoffs of the other ones too

I agree, the Bengals don't look too bad with them as they have the orange and black to go along with it up top. However the Saints and Rams look absolutely awful. I try to get over it, but god they're so fricking obnoxious. I just want to run onto the field and color them in with a sharpie.

It's mind boggling that they had an easy out to fix this horrible collar and chose to stick with it. Like another poster said, I try to just ignore it but it constantly aggravates the shite out of me when I see it.

I think pro sports franchises care a tremendous deal about their uniforms. It's branding.

I've never seen so many people go this crazy over two little stripes. It's a football game, not a fashion show.

If I had my choice of changing the collar or the helmet, I'd choose the helmet.

I would just like to see a try at something a little different. I love flat or matted helmets; a flat black or even gold could look awesome.
