ProFootballWeekly.com reported that in 2012 Nike will replace Reebook as the NFL’s uniform provider. A few message boards and blogs have released unofficial images of Nike’s Combat Uniforms for the 2012 season. Below is the Ravens new look.
So, what do you think?
I love the black and purple. I would hate replace that with gray.
Ravens' unis need a shake up.
The Heckle and Jeckyl bird on the side must go!!!
Personally, I love the white helmet. I think it looks slick.
The colors are purple, black and gold….instead of gray the helmet and pants should be gold….or what about a purple helmet?
Purple helmet isn't a bad idea. I'd like to see more of the shield though.
Are the Ravens the next entry in the Canadian Football League?
Oh God No.
No love for the helmet? I like the white!
PURPLE HELMETS!!!!! NOT SO DARK THAT THEY STILL LOOK BLACK.
PURPLE PANTS W/ GOLD STRIPE
JERSEY COLOR WHITE-AWAY PURPLE OR BLACK HOME.
Love the Gray helmet. Turn the bird around though. The pants can stay but the socks and the jersey stink!
Why turn the bird around?
DONT CHARGE OUR PURPLE / BALCK AND WHITE . THIS NEW UNIFORM SUCKS
Anything would be better than the black pants/socks combo in all black…looks like tights and a Ratbird ballet recital.
CSF, The black pants/socks combo is an intimidating look that puts the fear of god into opponents. I think you have us confused with some other team. The Stillers have had the same ole tired @ss uniforms since1968.
Really? Could have fooled me…my mother (who never watches football) made the comment about the Ratbirds looking like large ballet dancers as she walked by the TV screen last weekend!
And no, the Steelers need not change perfection.
SCF – Yeah Steelers don't need to change since they are a cheap outfit. Can't even buy the decal for the other side of the helmet….
CSF – Don't mess with Pole & me…. You got a Mid-West boy and an East Coaster that can do alot of damage…
Damage, eh? I'm an East coaster too…we're tough.
But I'll bet you an East coast lobster would trump those stone crabs you Ratbird fans eat!
They aren't stone crabs…. They are Maryland Blue Crabs… You know its funny and I'm not trying to be smart but I don't care for lobster. I love seafood and will eat lobster but I don't see where all the build up is for it….
No, your not an East Coaster… Your too high up… Real East Coasters are from Pa. down… Up past Pa. you guys are Uppity Northerners… There's a big difference… Like that Ratbird reference you keep using, no one has commented on it but you use the same old name… Too uppity to realize it doesn't make you sound legit…
I love you CSF but you have to change up your blasts… Your repeating…
Ravens2488:Uppity, eh? Wow, that's pretty harsh. And not legit…sorry, don't think so.
In my neck of the woods, all ravens and crows are called ratbirds…didn't know it was such an inflammatory term. I guess it's okay for you guys to refer to the Stillers (not sure what that means) or the team is led by a Rapistberger or your coach can say outlandish things while one of his players wears t-shirts with juvenile, offensive depictions; but, ratbirds is off-limits. OK….
However, as I sit at my desk overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and you may or may not be looking out over a bay, I wonder who really can lay claim to being an east coaster, a Maritimer…. hmm?
Sorry about mixing up stone and blue crabs. I realize one is from Florida but frankly they all taste the same; now, Queen crab…well, you'd have to go to the East Coast for those!
Personally i like the new unis but its missing something i just cant put my finger on it and if theyd lose that black on the shoulder pads i wouldnt miss it
I hate the black shoulder pads, but the helmet would be OK if the Raven was turned around to face the right way. Personally, I'd keep the current unis but make the black alternates the permanent home jersey.
I hate to see Reebok losing this contract. I remember the last time Nike made NFL gear. The hat and apparel design left a lot to be desired. Hopefully, they will do better this time.
I liked the black pants , purple jersey maybe the other way around as far as the jerseys and pants. please Baltimore fans won't go for the white helmets or the raven being turned around,it cant' happen
