There's a big commotion today about some fake artist's rendering of what Nike will do to the NFL uniforms starting in 2012. Here's the Chargers version just for fun and debate. Yellow pants? ick! Helmet bolts that look like a 1930's middle part? blech! Remember: This is fake!

I will say this much....
I have always been a fan of the “clarified 7”, with the horizontal line in the middle of it so that you know it’s not a 1.
Also, yellow pants kind of rock….

I can't see the picture linked.
So, either it’s a dead link or something is wrong with my computer. Anyone else having the same problem?
Unless of course the picture is of a small red “x” in a white box. Then it is working perfectly.

When I think Chargers...
I think of Air Coryell, and the yellow pants, they should definitely bring those back.
After a couple of sacks
a certain area of the pants gets very yellow.

They look too much like arena football uniforms
And I really don’t like the helmet.
My sister sent this to me earlier. I wasn’t sure if I liked it. And now I know I don’t

Broncos-style side/armpit swoosh?
I don’t know whether to laugh or be offended.
I love my team of historically talented underachievers.
That will be commonplace soon enough.

This is the best uniform in the history of the NFL…..

Norv: “Vincent, that was an excellent touchdown catch. You earned yourself a handshake from Charlie Whitehurst.”
Vincent: “REALLY?!? I…..I don’t know if I’m ready…..”
Norv: “You’re ready, kid…..CHARLIE!! Get over here and shake Jackson’s hand!”
Rest of team: “Wow….He’s so lucky!”

Meet Wall Guy.
“I can’t decide what the best part about wall guy is. Is it the fact that his left leg is twice as big as his right? The NES lightgun? The spread eagle stance? The way his chin melts into his shoulder? Or just his hiked up satin undies?”
and why does that pic look like him? From the leg size disparity down to the satin undies, uncanny.

The color of the pants is hideous
But the helmet looks awesome. Maybe if the pants weren’t neon colored, it would look better. The Jersey, minus the neon undershirt, looks sweet, too.
I'm not a fan of the yellow pants
but otherwise I think they look kinda cool.

love them, but...
I really do, specially the pants, but I need to see the bolt on the shoulder pads
Apparently, they're fake
And I’m glad. They look way too cartoonish.

Man, how come the Chargers get some of the worst-looking duds in the fake rendering?
The Bucs got a good one— classic “swashbuckler” logo meets modern color scheme; Philly gets Oregon Ducks-style wings on the shoulders; the Browns’ stay similar to the current incarnation; Carolina’s looks very Tron-ish…
On the flip side, Denver, Miami, and Pittburgh look goofy and the Raiders’ is laughably generic.
Not a fan overall. Like SDFTW said, it reminds me of the Arena League jerseys.
The Padres are good, but make no mistake: we've gotta beef up the linwup.
If I had a nickel from every SBN blog that has banned me, Arrowhead Pride would owe me 5¢.

I'm okay with it, except for the too-close-together bolts.
The one I’d really like to see the team go to is a set with more powder blue. Maybe not like the alternates (I don’t want them to go to the alts full-time, because that would taint their awesome w/l record), but I really liked those road unis they wore in KC that one time.

Heh, will do.
Yeah, that fake one is ass. I’m gonna try a couple things…

And yes
they need to go back to rockin’ the all white uniforms. White jerseys with the dark blue pants are meh, especially since their helmets are white.
