Didn't the Broncos go with Nike first? Or was I tripping?

The Giants need not fuck around. Go with what works. Giants beat writers are saying the red uni's wont be on the field in 2012. The Giants are due for a throwback though. Right here if you ask me:BannedEpisode said:

In the time before Reebok there was an open licensing situation and most gear was a mix of the the big three producers.
NFL went ahead and decided to do exclusive deals from then out to streamline the process.

Here's the Uni Watch twitter page with pictures. A good number of teams shown here:

Cunningham was so much fun to watch, but I never would have wanted him as my quarterback.
I think you're overstating the "racist" bit (shocking). It was the unorthodox play style that many black quarterbacks were/are associated with (speed and arm strength over pocket awareness and accuracy). Not saying no racism existed, but in terms of relatively irrational criticisms, Warren Moon faced significantly less and I think that's due to his being a more traditional QB.

Not bad at all. Thanks.

Since they went with 1 brand anyways.
But yeah the broncos did splinter for a time and went with Nike apparently.
Kinda the samey, the hue is maybe lighter?
Here is Nike's official page on it.

lol Warren Moon was undrafted and there was only one reason why he wasn't drafted... And it wasn't because he was a pac10 QB

That's the flex collar they use on their college uni's as well. It's part of the design for all these jersey's from what I've seen.Nightz said:
Here's the video from Giants.com. Equipment Manager Joe Skiba explains the differences in the material and design from the old jersey's for anyone interested (since it applies to all teams):

I meant more as a pro, not his draft stock.
Also, if I recall correctly Moon threw as many pics as touchdowns at Washington and wasn't the least bit prolific a passer. Guy was average. He would not get drafted today.
Was it his first or second season in Edmonton where he went off? I think you could make a much stronger case for race being the reason he was stuck in the CFL for so long, not so much the not getting drafted part.
It won't load the images, idk if it's my work's firewall blocking the site or too much traffic.

He won the rose bowl and was the MVP in a don James ground heavy offense.... He would get drafted today
He was no Joe Montana, but I would have liked it if Cunningham was a Steelers in the 80s because he was much better than the dog shit we were putting on the field. Ugh, what a shitty time to get into football for a Steelers fan. The Ohio teams used to take turns running a football train on us.
And with the racism I said there were some old white guys who hated Randall because he was black. Most of the young people my age were all big fans. Most Eagle fans are all for replacing whoever is the qb and then equally ready to turn on the guy after 2-3 years of not winning the SB. It is the Philly way. I was just talking about how weird it was that SOME people were just openly racist about Cunningham. That doesn't happen in PA anymore, at least not where I live.

*dont know how to make it look nice, so deal with it.
The collars are using the Flywire tech that they use on their running shoes, cleats, and Hyperdunk (and Hyperfly and so on) basketball shoes. It provides support and allows them to cut down on materials on the heels and the tops. It actually does make a difference with shoes - these things are insanely light.
Don't know if it actually does anything for jerseys.

Know who did get drafted in 1978? Doug Williams. First round, too.
Moon went undrafted because he was an average QB without a resume who threw too many interceptions.
Nate Hybl won a Rose Bowl player of the game in a run first offense too. God damn reverse-racism, should have been drafted! (man I hope he wasn't some late draft pick!)

A cog in a offense and during an era where black QBs were not really option
If you believe that I have an iceberg to sell you.
Only $99,000 per person to get in. Hurry before the chance of lifetime passes you by!
Those are some ugly ass jackets, damn.
I guess someone at Nike really loved the Golden Lords in Meteor Man.

Doug Willams was treated real fairly too in the NFL..
What does that have to do with the fact that he was drafted in the first round?
Are you trying to mwsnatural us?
How do you expect him to take a test with a wrist injury?! He woke up late! He didn't eat breakfast!

Has a lot to do with the state of the black QB, even the traditional ones, over the history of the NFL from drafts to opputunities given...
Are you trying to Ripclawe us?
I can't think of any quarterbacks in the last five years with numbers as pedestrian as his that have been drafted. He was slow, threw as many picks as touchdowns, and played in a simple offense. He won the Rose Bowl MVP with two 1 yard sneaks.
I'm not claiming racism didn't exist, I'm saying Warren Moon did not warrant a draft pick no matter his skin color and likely would not be drafted today.
Also, I think you'd be far less salty about it if he played at Cal.

Did you see the questions posted before? Shits hard.
And this whole QB thing, look at Matt Flynn he won a national championship and was barely drafted.

White strip isn't as thick on the pants and the numbers are smaller I think but at least Nike didn't totally fuck it up.
