Nike NFL Uniforms: Analyzing the Coolest Looking Franchises

Earlier this week, Nike revealed the NFL uniforms for 2012 and to say the least, not much changed. Still, there are some franchises that will look cool on the field, but whether that actually makes a player or team perform better is another story.

Regardless, looking cool does improve swagger and confidence—which certainly helps.

Denver Broncos

The Broncos went back to their orange jerseys and have the slick white pants to match. The helmet looks awesome, but the return of the light blue lid would be perfect.

Can't wait to see what the away uniforms look like.

Buffalo Bills

Buffalo has an excellent color design between red, white and blue. This unique attire combination brings in a mix of their early days as a franchise and the trends of the twenty-first century.

San Diego Chargers

Whether on a helmet, jersey or the pants, San Diego always looks fast sporting the lightning bolt. The white helmets remind us of legends like Lance Alworth and the rest of the design flows well.

Although more of the Chargers' old-school powder blue would be sweet, there's no need to change anything.

San Francisco 49ers

For teams at any level in any sport looking for the true gold color, the San Francisco 49ers are the prime example. This uniform embodies the days of Bill Walsh, Joe Montana and Jerry Rice, so it's a good thing that the 'Niners remain consistent.
