This collection of crazy, science fiction-y NFL uniform designs has been zooming around the internet. Could this be the future of the NFL?

The uniforms were originally rumored to be concept art for Nike's new Pro Combat uniforms. The company is taking over the NFL's exclusive apparel contract next season.

However, the company said when they signed the deal that they have no plans to change colors or style, but are merely hoping to update the fabric and tech of the jerseys. They have done more subtle redesigns for some college teams.

In truth, they were merely the musings of a bored design fan who created them unsolicited, and posted them to a message board, where they got passed around and eventually fooled a lot of people.

Some are awesome, some are awful, but they're all arresting. Still, there's no harm in dreaming right?
