Well the day that some have been anticipating (while some dreading) has officially arrived. Nike has revealed all the NFL uniforms for 2012. Design wise everything looks pretty status quo except for the Seahawks who got some major reconstructive surgery.
On the fabric side of things I can't wait to see the new Elite jersey in person. The Elite jersey is the actual on field jersey that the players will wear. Nike.com is going to be pre-selling the jerseys and the Elite is priced at $250 ..... not bad considering the Reebok jerseys have been $300+ for the past few years and their quality was below average at best (I'm being kind).
From Nikeinc.com:
KEY FEATURES OF THE NIKE ELITE 51 UNIFORM INCLUDE:
LIGHTER - The Nike jersey and pant, wet or dry are lighter than previous versions
