Nike Pro Combat New England Patriots Uniforms
In case you missed it Nike will be taking over the NFL uniforms in 2012 and they are planning dramatic changes. Above is a fan mock up of a Patriots uniform using the Nike Pro Combat style that many college teams have gone to.
Personally I think the Patriots are one team that will resist changing their uniforms too drastically. They’ve established an excellent brand identity with the current uniform style. Perhaps they’ll incorporate the Pro Combat fit to their uniforms but I’d expect the styling to remain largely the same.
Still I kinda like these. What do you think?
Update: Here’s another sample I found.

Beating the Vikings Would Prove Patriots Are Elite
While most of the pundits seem to be picking the New England Patriots to beat the Minnesota Vikings this weekend, I’m finding myself quite nervous about this game.
Not because it’s necessarily a must-win, but because I have a feeling the Vikings are going to turn it around at some point, and I’d prefer it not come at our expense. You can never count out a team with Adrian Peterson, Randy Moss, Percy Harvin, and their defensive front seven.
If the Patriots want to be considered an elite team, they’ll need to knock off Minnesota this weekend. I’m as big of a Patriots fan as they come, and even I am not quite sure they’re “elite” just yet.
Yes, they have five wins, but all of them could’ve easily gone either way.
The offense is still looking for it’s exact identity. The defense seems to be improving every week, but they are still giving up a lot of third down conversions.
As always the goal is to be peaking at the end of the season, not in late October. But it’s games like these, home games against teams that are banged up and vulnerable, that elite teams win.
With so much focus going to whether or not Brett Favre will play, there’s very little talk about just how good the Patriots really are. Clearly they can compete with anyone. But are they the kind of team that will win twelve or more games? We’ll have a much better sense by Monday.
