Yeah, I've seen similar to the OP popping up on Facebook lately. But the issue is, the NFL/player union agreed to uniform rules. Appropriate shoe colors, writing things on your shoes.
It's a monetary issue. I liked Tebow's eye black, but what stops the next guy from having McDonald's under one eye and Big Mac under the other? Sponsorship is huge with the NFL, and the rules are designed to keep the league — and the owners — making it. The union agrees to the terms because its members get paid.
