Nike NFL Jerseys: Breaking Down the Coolest New Looks

The unveiling of the Nike NFL jerseys caused quite the stir, though the focus was more on the sleek look than any drastic design changes. (There was one obvious exception to that last part.)

However, there were some upgrades made to some classic looks that make all the difference for these uniforms. 

We live in a world where we want bigger and bolder things, but what's wrong with being subtle?

Here are the coolest new NFL uniforms that were put on display on Tuesday. 

Cincinnati Bengals

The Bengals have always had underrated uniforms, in my estimation. The new Nike look made some minor tweaks to an already good design, replacing the standard all-black on the shoulder look with some orange around the outlying regions of the shoulder. 

Drastic changes don't always have to be made for a big improvement. The Bengals' new look is sharper and it makes everything else pop out. 

Big things are going to happen for the Bengals this season, and this jersey is just the tip of the iceberg. 

Seattle Seahawks

Arguably the most polarizing of the new uniforms. the Seahawks took big steps to upgrade their look from the old teal and white to encompass more colors and a unique across the chest white stripe for the home uniforms. 

It may not be the prettiest look out there, but it really does pop when you get past the initial shock of seeing it. 

Even if the Seahawks don't win a lot of games, which doesn't seem likely given how good their young defense is, no one will ever forget them thanks to this new look. It feels like they are trying to go for shock value, like the Oregon football program does. 

Jacksonville Jaguars

Like the Bengals, the Jaguars did not do much to change their look. The biggest change comes from the material that their jerseys are made from. 

Before, the Jaguars had shiny uniforms. It was awkward watching them run out on the field with the sun bouncing off their jersey. 

Now, the material gives it a sleeker look that doesn't blind opponents. They have never had a flashy design, which is good, and now they have managed to tone down what little spark they had.
