I actually the Cardinals Nike better because it is more of a one color thing going on. The only thing I liked about the Cardinals uniforms from the old is the bird on the helmet looks meaner. This kind of reminds me of their old uniforms but they still have the weird lines around the shoulder and down the side of pants.

These are the only uniforms I like that Nike touched.

That's right, the fashion show, complete with some stud players (Urlacher is seen in his iconic 54, for instance):

comes from the fact that most of the NFL teams wouldn't allow anything but minor changes to their uni's, the Seahawks being the exception. The Packers not only wouldn't allow any modifications of their uni's, they even refused the new fabric that every other NFL team would be using.

And those teams listed below:

As highlighted by ProFootballTalk.com on Wednesday, it appears the Green Bay Packers, Carolina Panthers, Atlanta Falcons, Philadelphia Eagles and Oakland Raiders will continue to have their uniforms designed and made the same way they've always been.

Nike's website contains descriptions of all 32 uniforms, with a page covering each team. According to the descriptions that appear on that site, the five teams listed above are keeping to the "traditional design aesthetic" and "former uniform fabrication," though they all will use newly designed gloves.

ProFootballTalk.com reported the New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, Pittsburgh Steelers and Houston Texans will change their uniforms but forgo the so-called "flywire" V-shaped neckline, which is meant to reduce the ability of opponents to grab the jerseys.
