New Nike uniforms unveiled
Daily News staff
Amid gret fanfare today in Brooklyn, the NFL and Nike unveiled new uniforms for all 32 teams, except most of the new uniforms look remarkably similar to the old ones.
The Eagles will be wearing the same uniform, with the exception of the Nike insignia on the sleeve, replacing the Reebok logo. A team source said the new uniform reflects no change in the overall appearance.
The jerseys will go on presale April 15 and on sale April 26 and 27.
A new line of shirts, hats and other products was unveiled April 1 and have been on sale on the Eagles web site and elsewhere since April 1. What was once known as midnight green is now Nike green.
Each team had one player to model the uniforms during the ceremony. Michael Vick, a Nike rep, was there for the Eagles.
"The new NFL uniforms thru Nike are going to be crazy ... Innovation at its finest!," he tweeted Monday night.
The biggest change is the Seattle Seahawks, who are going to be the Oregon or Baylor of the NFL. The team has the No. 12 on its jerseys, representing the 12th man, and a new color scheme that includes a feather image, for the Seahawks.

Some other notes:
* Expect the NFL preseason scheduled to be released tomorrow.
* Good news from Colt Anderson, whose season ended in surgery for a torn ACL. He tweeted: Ran for the first time on grass today with @proact and @BrentCelek. Felt good to be back on the fb field.
The twitter handle of @proatc is Eagles head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder.

Yawn..............
Whats new about this. All hype. Bring back the 1960's green.— Norm3- Keep everything the same but go with the gray or silver pants.— esesjay
- agree Norm3...bring back kelly green. This midnight green with a sheen looks blue some light, and washed out in other light....
this is all about lurie wanting his (or his wife's) distinct color. He's made through luck and opportunism at least he can uphold the tradition which made him a billionaire.— retzlaff - Jeez could they make the guy any thinner? This is the NFL not some frog fashion show runway!— You are right
- So disappointing....I knew it wouldn't happen but I was really hoping for the colors to go back to what they used to be— cjh136
- The only thing crazy about this exact same uniform is Michael Vick shilling that they are crazy and innovative.— Iron Giant
- kelly green sucked. our uni's now are one of the best in the league— DaveMac
- I'm just thrilled that it's not like the hack job they did on Seattle However, the Eagle on the sleeve has a certain angry attitude and that fits Philly— farwestburbs
- The NFL knows how to hype up anything.— PhillySportsFix.com
- BFD— Lpaul
- Eagle defensive backs should wear Pink because they tackle like girls.— farley
Cool, Nike Green....whatever, midnight green forever.
You can't buy colors Phil..... all you have done now is chased me closer to other brands.— willbert31
Comment removed.- The most distinctive feature of Eagles unis is how clean they are at the end of the game.— eaglescali
- Same ugly midnight teal that has defined the Lurie era. The Eagles colors are green and silver jeffrey not teal— UncleStosh
- lol. that nike pic of hulk vick is so photoshopped he looks like he can take a season of hits and never even bruise.— bloodymess
- Hope the green pants are gone.
- McCoy really looks chiseled. He's in great shape.— AvoidSundanceVacations
- They need to go back to the white helmets and green Eagle wings!— kwasi2323
- How about they put the number 51 on the sleeve...daily reminder of how long without a championship!— jimmymack
- kelly green blows— SpeakPhilly.com
- Kelley Green please! I agree with farley, defense needs to wear pink until tackling improves.— chocolatethunder
- Having basically grown up watching only midnight green jerseys, I would like a change to the kelly green jerseys.— krh66
- Why change? We all know that if it weren't for the refs and the turnovers we would have won the Super Bowl last year.
Anyway, everthing about this franchise is milquetoast at this point...the uniforms, the dull stadium, the coaching staff, the roster...even the dopey mascot. Ugh.— guyguy4 - listen to all the crusty old people "we want kelly green" go take your metamucil and shutup the eagles uniforms are AWESOME— AlexSp
- What DaveMac said. We currently have one of the best unis in the league...why would we want to go back to the Jets color scheme (which is darn ugly)!— eaglesfan
- I know the players have to be standing thinking its the same as before.— Zeru
- Couldn't they at least get a white mannequin for Welker?
- I'd like a return to the Buddy Ryan era Kelly green with the Eagle in flight carrying a football logo on the sleeves. It honors past tradition while creating it's own. This current metallic dark green is just honoring Mrs Lurie's own personal taste and esthetic regarding a venerable old franchise.
On the other hand, changing to Kelly Green will not change current ownership, the current coaching staff and the overall attitude of these out of towners turned billionaires. Let those colors remain on standby until this bunch is gone or altered in a drastic way.— DelawareRiverRat - Bring back Kelly Green!!!!!!
— lostInPhilly - They probably found some country to make these for a nickel and paid their workers 2 cents a day.— Geno D
- Any truth to the rumor Nike is coming out with an Eagles pocket protector in honor of the front office? Gold colored of course...— hunglikeaton
- The only thing good about the dull Kelly Green the Eagles used to have is they won a World Championship in those colors. That was 51 years ago and changing back to those ugly uniforms will not bring another championship. The uniform today with the dark green is far better.— OverFiftyYears
- Someone already mentioned it, but it looks like Welker spent too much time in the sun.— vipers53
- Well taste in color is subjective, not sure you need insults of fans' taste or age to indicate a preference. But then again some folks can't talk without using the word "suck" or "blows" or insulting other fans. That's more indicative of the type of fans that give the city a bad name, so I guess keep the unis teal to represent the "new age" crude fan.— retzlaff
I didn't think it was possible to make the Seattle uniforms sartorially duller, but they did. They must use a "washed-out color" wheel to select the home/road uniforms. You could watch their games in black-and-white and not know it.— wfs0868- The curse of Midnight Green becomes the curse of Nike Green. They won't ever win wearing those colors, not until they go back to the true Kelly Green and Silver!— F5
- Why no Oregon Duck design?— Romus
- Joe "Nickels" Banner heard the dark green is cheaper because nobody else wants that ugly color...which is why it stays. Gold Standard, Dream Team....times yours.— kelprod2
I have despised these jerseys and logo with a passion since they started using them. It just didn't get any more classic or cleaner than the kind Cunningham, White, & company wore. I'll even settle for the 1960 plain janes over the midnight green they've sported for about 15 years now.— kjuggs77- Keep midnight green. Kelly green are for Jets.— rcfoot
- So exactly what is being "unveiled". Its the same jersey with a nike swoosh. Well at least I don't have to go out and buy new ones the reebok jerseys will do just fine for this year.— kenny.328.usa
- MoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoneyMoney!!!— jimqk
- Put some different plays in those uniforms. And does fat boy get something new to replace that hideous black outfit he wears for EVERY game.— 4in5out7gone
- I'll N-E-V-E-R buy an Eagles jersey that's blue/green. That color change was and is the worst.— WBFO
- "...they all are made with new technology that make them lighter, dryer and more comfortable." That really matters to an NFL player? lol— jszulewski
- terrible uniforms. way to "innovate" Nike. NFL must be proud.— Clt Philly Fan
- I didn't know Welker was Black.— ol duke
- I was kinda hoping that they would produce the jersey that had the wings on the shoulder, similar to the oregon ducks jersey— franknbeans
- To correct a misconception kicking around this comment section-- the Jets wear hunter green, not kelly green.— everydayguy
- except for the seahawks and the gloves, they all look the same.— psualum
- The Gold Standard/NFL/Nike and God's chosen people will not get another cent of my money!— citysims
- Two things the other three teams in our division have done over the years: 1) left their uniforms relatively unchanged over the years, 2) won a super bowl. It would be nice to see one if not both of those things changed.— Nick_from_Lansdowne
- Great! Arena League football on a grand scale. Might as well load them up with advertisements like NASCAR drivers.— mike l
- Sleek uniforms? How are they going to make a 320 lb lineman look sleek?— mike l
- Any body notice all the modeling dummies are black,what are they trying to say,whites don't look good in their uniforms,or blacks are dummies either way it's racist.— DATRUFF
- I'll never be Nike green! NEVER!
- I like both the kelly green throwbacks and the midnight green. But the Jaworski/Wilbert Montgomery era unit were the best. It's all good...but no white helmets please they never look good (except the Chargers).— juaniflaco
- ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ— SyddBarrett
- The only answer is to go waaaaaaaaaaaaay back to the yellow with blue Easter egg colors.— orange rhino
- Comment removed.
No hoodies?- nike is just a differant word for slave,they have people working for them and they hardly get paid anything,i dont like nike and never will.— nick1
- Seahawks new uniforms look gay— Evil Overlord
- Seahawks new uniforms look gay— Evil Overlord
- Nike paid big bucks to the NFL to be the supplier....Money Talks....and for those who want to go back to Kelly Green...think Rich Kotite.....and if you love it so much, go be a J-E-T fan.....strong dark colors work....pastels and light colors are for girls....— nuggett
- Need all whites for the summer games. Now can you do something with the cheerleader's underwear.— ACBaughman
- I was hoping Lurie would make good on his promise to go to teal and yellow.— p-diddy
