    I guess I'm the only one that likes the Seahawks' new jerseys? Also, I know it's just a glimpse, but the jersey Andre is wearing looks like a fake Reebok one. It looks like it has the extra wide shoulder stripes and the red around the neck cut.

    The collars are definitely wider.

    It's probably Andre Johnson in between Rothlisberger and Welker on that first tweeted picture.

    EDIT: Oh... well... now I see. :grin: Good times.

    I like the WIDER collar on the Texans' one.

    I'm wondering why only the Broncos have the alternate ones (should be the navy blue ones) and the Cowboys and Titans have the "Light" versions (should be the dark blue ones). I guess just to make it look "classic"? :confused:

    Not a fan of the wider collar. Everything else looks OK.

    according to the nike website, it looks like the texans didn't use the flywire collar.

    It looks like they changed the name of the type of jersey too. There's Game Jersey for $100, Limited Jersey for $135, and Elite Jersey for $250.

    The advancement of technology on the Nike jerseys will give Foster at least an extra TD this season.

    Reason for the large/wide collar is that the Texans passed on the Fly Wire technology in the neck. On Nikes description page for the Texans is says that. The reason was to keep the red all the way around the collar. Teams that chose the Fly Wire tech have only have the color halfway around the collar, or no second color around the collar at all. The reason it is so wide, is thats the width they make the collar with the Fly Wire, and its looks pretty bad when it still has the original collar color all the way around. So we didn't choose the new tech in the neck, but we got the space provided for it as a solid red collar that looks pretty bad!

    Click through them all. I think that's legit. (the numbers look fake though) At least I hope so, looks sharp.

    Not sure why they would go out of their way to photoshop the collar so small compared to what we saw in the demo.
