Wow all of these are awesome..I'd love it if they all looked like this next year. What team is the third picture I couldn't figure it out?

Cardinals.
And I hate the Bucs one. That logo is for throwback games, it's the past.

Agreed. That logo needs to be retired...

My favorite is the chiefs with the head dress on the helmet.

Some of those look great. Some of them are absolutely hideous.

I wouldn't have thought that these were real as in we'd see them in games, but I certainly could believe that they were Nike mock-ups.

No, no, no.....angles & perspective for some logos & stuff are off. A professional, especially one working for Nike, wouldn't put that out there like that. Or, if he did, it would be the last thing he put out for Nike.

Would Nike have any say in the helmet design? For a lot of these they just enlarged the logo, or flipped it backwards, or inversed the colors. Not a fan.

I agree with the guys from PTI. It was leaked on purpose to get feedback

I think there's 2 aspects to what Nike does/can do. They're going to be making the uniforms in their sweatshops. But obviously they do have a design department as we've seen with the college pro combat series.

Those with fears that Nike would do to the NFL's uniforms what has been done to the on-field apparel of the Oregon Ducks' football team - a series of alternate uniforms, each more bizarre than the last - may have had those fears compounded by the images of the supposedly new NFL designs. The color schemes are interesting, to say the least, with teams like the Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers getting among the most drastic makeovers.
The new designs made their way around the internet, with responses running the gamut. But Yahoo! Sports has confirmed with a Nike source what has been reported elsewhere through the day -- the designs are not real, and the graphics have nothing whatsoever to do with whatever changes Nike may be making to the NFL uniforms. They are well-done but amateur-created art, most likely based on the current Pro Combat college uniform concepts. (That is to say, well-done for the most part -- whoever designed the new fake Kansas City Chiefs uni needs to go back to the drawing board).

I agree ... then again I am like you in thinking the Bengals still have the best gear in the league.

Remember last year, when Bruce Allen was hired and said the Redskins would be looking at their uniforms. Some company did a bunch of mock-ups, and one of them was the same "head-dress" helmet as that Chiefs one above. It was hideous. I actually really like the current Chiefs helmet.

Im not a fan of the Rams helmets in that mockup...if the helmets were gold with blue horns then it might make a bit more sense

it bothers me that the model's ankles are crazy skinny.
and what team is sky blue? between the falcons and seahawks? is it just another design for the seahawks?
edit: nevermind, i think it belongs to the Titans.
