You read that right.

Paul Lukas, aka @UniWatch on Twitter, will be a new addition in Madden NFL 25 when it hits store shelves this fall. Lukas is best known for his work of obsessively looking at the aesthetics of sports, and has a popular blog covering sports fashion and more.

"One of the higher-ups from EA Sports, who says he's a big Uni Watch fan, got in touch with me about 10 days ago and invited me to participate," Lukas wrote on Thursday. "It sounded like fun, so I said yes."

While in the big picture, this is a relatively minuscule addition to the game (and completely irrelevant to people more interested in gameplay) it certainly is interesting that EA is growing their list of faux 'tweeters' within the game. It's likely there are no other connections to other features with Lukas' inclusion within the game. [Kotaku]

Hopefully this means they'll fix some of the major (Bears pants) and minor (striped socks having fixed length) issues with each team's uniforms.

I have a hard time seeing how this makes the game better.

Completely irrelevant to everyone. The uniforms aren't going to change. It's not like you're designing new uniforms so this guy can rate them. And who gives a flying f*** what this guy thinks? I get he has a uniform blog on ESPN but that has 0 to do with a football video game. It adds nothing to the experience and further illustrates their focus on such ridiculous ideas instead of nailing down a solid foundation.

Oh God.

In respect to the TOS, that's all I'm gonna say about it.

I certainly won't let this judge how I feel about the game already, but really EA?
