Nike's new NFL uniforms boast of a "body-contoured fit," which is great for athletes whose bodies are fit for contouring, but not so exciting for big guys in the trenches with sizable girth and prominent guts.

The Wall Street Journal talked to some of the league's bigger players about the tight-fitting jerseys and found that they're about as popular as replacement refs and vegetables.

"I hate them," 300-pound Alex Boone of the San Francisco 49ers told the newspaper. "They are built for thin guys. It makes me look like I have big old love handles."

He said that when his wife saw him for the first time in the new jersey, she said it looked like he ate a small baby. And by "small baby" she must have meant "oversized Thanksgiving turkey and three basketballs."

Look, no change in fabric or cut is going to make sloppy offensive lineman look like Calvin Johnson, but guys like Boone have a point. Unlike, say, B.J. Raji (left), Boone's size is more thickness than corpulence. He looks as athletic as a 6'8", 300-pound lineman can be.

Even with that, Boone still looks like a sack of potatoes. The Rajis of the world look like chubby babies wearing an outgrown onesie.

Nike told WSJ that its jerseys are designed for players of all sizes.
