REPLY: Forksref...I understood that another 'intent' of the new uniforms was to distance themselves from those commercials that showed officials (wearing the old stripes and knicks) in a less than positive manner--stealing beer, conducting stupid training classes, and most lately apologizing for making a bad call over the mike, etc. The new uniforms are 'trademarked' (if that's the right legal term) so that commercial interests can't mimic them in advertisements without the express permission of the NFL.
