Nike NFL Uniforms: Teams That Need the Oregon Ducks Treatment

As of today, Nike is the official outfitter of the NFL, and for some teams, this change cannot come soon enough.

There are a number of franchises in the league that have needed a uniform switch for years, and the new Nike uniforms are the best way to accomplish that.

NFL teams do not need all of the combinations that the Oregon Ducks have, but spicing up some uniforms could be beneficial to the players and the fans.

Detroit Lions

The Detroit Lions have been tweaking their uniforms over the past few years, but the team could use a huge overhaul.

Few teams in American sports have had a worse run than the Lions, so it is time to make people forget about the past and focus on the promising future. When the Tampa Bay Buccaneers changed their logo and colors, they won the Super Bowl—maybe Detroit can do the same.

New York Jets

The good news for Nike is people will buy a new Tim Tebow jersey no matter what it looks like. This is why it was such a big deal for Nike to stop Reebok from selling the jerseys in the last week before the NFL made the switch.

Combine Tebow fans with the large group of Jets fans, and there is already a built-in customer for millions of jersey sales. The more color combinations they can sell, the better.

Indianapolis Colts

When Peyton Manning was with the team, the Colts were able to get away with incredibly boring uniforms because at least they were winning.

After a 2-14 season, there are no more excuses.

Indianapolis needs to bring some new excitement into the city with new uniforms to go with a new quarterback.

The Andrew Luck era will begin with a clean start.

Cleveland Browns

I understand it's difficult to have a helmet logo that portrays the Browns, but can it at least be the color Brown?

It would only make sense to create some brown helmets and leave the orange ones to Syracuse.
