Nike took over the NFL clothing rights last year, and has slowly but surely been making their impact be felt in the uniform design. They hadn't made their "big splash" until Wednesday when they unveiled the new Pro Bowl uniforms. As many have said, these jerseys have a large striking similarity to the Oregon Ducks uniforms.
They are flashy, vibrant and give the NFL and the Pro Bowl a whole new look. They will no longer follow the classic blue and red format for the NFC and AFC jerseys. The Pro Bowl will also no longer follow the classic format of the teams being selected as NFC and AFC players, instead this year it will be somewhat like a draft format.
These jerseys are a great idea, whether they don't appeal to everyone or not. You can't make everyone happy in your decisions. The Pro Bowl is by far the least watched or cared about All-Star event between Basketball, Baseball and Football. This is an attempt to give the Pro Bowl new life and try to rejuvenate the NFL fan base to watch.
