Nike to unveil new NFL uniforms on April 3rd

The day most uniform fans out there have both been looking forward to while dreading at the same time has been revealed, Nike yesterday announced that they will unveil their new NFL uniform designs in New York on April 3rd.

Industry insiders and NFL team officials alike have stressed that there’s nothing for fans to worry about, just the other day the Oakland Raiders stated that their uniforms will not change. But with images of the Oregon Ducks football team and North Carolina Tar Heels basketball teams fresh in our minds it’s hard not to remain a little skeptical.

All we know at this point is that the Carolina Panthers will have a tweaked logo which we saw earlier last month, and the Denver Broncos will be wearing orange instead of navy blue as their main home jersey colour.
