Why Football Teams Should Have New Uniforms

Do you ever look at a football team and judge them on their uniform? Well if you don't do this I do. Their uniforms tell a lot of a team. It is kind of like the saying "don't judge a book by its cover." We should not judge a team on their uniform, but we all do it. The cooler the uniforms look the better they seem. It is almost like wohh get out of their way. 

Especially in college the football team should receive new jerseys every year. A new year should mean new jerseys. An entire year is a long time for things to go out of style. Yeah they might look extremely cool one year, but the next year it is already getting old. Fans want to see new ones. For example the Oregon Ducks receive new jerseys every year and it ends up all over twitter, Facebook etc. That will draw more publicity and fans towards that school just for a little thing such as the uniforms. The cooler they look the more publicity the school is going to receive. Now this doesn't happen for basketball teams as much. Football is a huge important sport in the United States, so a uniform is important to look cool. 

Now it is kind of like a art project. The cooler and more design on the jersey the cooler they are going to look. If the jersey is one solid color with design in a different color it is going to look more professional than just one solid color jersey. Usually the jerseys that look the best are the Nike ones. Something about Nike designs them the best and has the best colors. The bigger school are supported by Nike, so they have to make sure they look cool. The teams in the Super Bowl receive new jerseys, and this is because they want to look athletic and like a bad ass team. During this time the two teams in the Super Bowl receive so much publicity, that they probably get the jerseys for free. The better the jerseys look the more the team is going to look good.

  1. You might consider putting some pictures with your post. I'd like to see examples of some uniforms you think are best. Use the "link" feature to cite the source of the photos.
    I'm curious about how teams pay for those uniforms. They must be expensive! Do you think the new uniforms depend on the success (ticket sales/revenue) of the team? Would that mean that less successful, less popular teams would be doomed to old and unattractive or out of style uniforms?
    Unique sports topic!
