Madden NFL 13 Screenshot - Adrian Peterson and Brian Urlacher

[Senator Palmer]

Has it been confirmed that the actual Bears are wearing orange pants with their away uniforms? Could it be the screenshot is just showing off an alternate? I didn't see it stated anywhere in the article, although I did read on another blog that Nike won't be making the Orange alternate jerseys anymore.

The Vikings have such a terrible uniform. I haven't seen a rear shot, but are the numbers supposed to go straight into the side panel of the jersey? It looks wrong, but I'm not sure if that's how Nike designed it. Either way, again, it's ugly.

I wonder what Bears fans think of orange pants. Their white on white look is pretty good. I guess, as long as they never go orange on orange or blue on orange, the orange pants will look okay.

The pads are incorrect. They are the old-style pad from last year. The new ones are Deflex pads...

Just like when they introduced the Captain patch, every team in Madden had it even though a couple teams in real life declined to use it.

See, I actually think the Orange pants are kinda nice. I am a little disappointed that the seahawks were the only ones who opted for a new look. I thought the prototype uniform for the eagles (the ones that had the eagle wings on the shoulder) was amazing. Had an Oregon vibe to them. This coming from a cowboy fan too.

I like em.

Let me preface this post by stating this is not meant as a slight against EA or the effort placed in getting authentic uniforms.

That said, I was lmao when the article kept mentioning all the covert secrecy around the Nike NFL apparel. I never really gave that much thought to how serious sporting apparel companies take this stuff, just like runway designers. I could picture Vera Wang, Ralph Lauren, etc, trying to keep new fashion from leaking but Nike, not so much.

Anyway, it's cool that EA is so focused on multiple levels of NFL authenticity.

Those "prototypes" were fake mock ups by some fan. Anyone who has read the uniform thread will already know my opinion on that type of look, so I won't bother people with it here.

Agreed. Vikes definitely have the worst uni in the league and I'm still on the fence about Seattle's new one.

I think that IRL, by the 2013 season every team will definitely have them.

I'd be stoked if they brought back the black, but that's more of a Matt Millen era thing... Might be an all silver look with blue numbers?

I thought there was a rule about helmets that you could only have one and maybe a throwback?

I don't get why they didn't show that as a screenshot... It was literally the only team that made noticeable changes. It was Nike's headliner for the unveil even.

Would be pretty lame if they weren't included given how hard Nike has been pushing those since the ProBowl... Then again, apparently NCAA 13 is not getting new cleats/gloves so maybe Madden won't either - weak.
