NFL Super Bowl XLVIII

The Nike Bowl

Well, it certainly was some game on Sunday. Not only did the Seahawks crush the Broncos (which was undoubtedly more painful to watch than my rosé hangover the next morning), but Nike prevailed too.

Both the Seahawks and the Broncos wore signature looks by the sportswear manufacturer, each designed 15 years apart. In 1997, Nike redesigned the Broncos uniform, the first time Nike had done that for an N.F.L. team. Before the 2012 season, the Seahawks had their own uniform overhaul with the mostly blue (college navy is the official color name) and patterned green (action green) apparel you see today. Call me a uniform prude, but I'm having a hard time adjusting to these loud and obstreperous colors. Guess I'm a sucker for the classics....
