Let's not peg the "old fogie-o-meter"
I remember when teams went to colored facemasks instead of gray, shiny material for pants, numbers on the sides of the pants, white shoes, multicolored jerseys with stripes on the sides etc. We all got used to them and now watch NFL Films games from 1980 and realize how different things were style-wise.
I expect there will be some tweaking of the uniform but that the basic design will remain. How many teams have changed uniforms in the last ten years? Bills, Bucs, Giants, Jets, Cowboys (once in a while), 49ers, Rams, Bengals, Chargers, Patriots, Broncos, Seahawks, Cardinals and sometimes the Redkins (all white). Usually, the self proclaimed 'old schoolers' initially squawked but everybody got used to it and went with it. I don't see a difference here.
