Every NFL season brings a fresh wave of excitement, not just from rookies and game strategies, but also from the new uniforms and helmet designs that teams unveil. The 2024 season is no exception, featuring a striking array of redesigns and throwback inspirations that promise to add some visual flair to the field.
Denver Broncos: Mile High Collection
The Denver Broncos are introducing the "Mile High Collection," which features distinctive "5280" helmet labels — a nod to Denver's mile-high altitude. The jerseys are adorned with tiny triangles, symbolizing the club's mountainous region. Adding to the excitement, the Broncos are also unveiling a new alternate uniform inspired by the cherished 1977 "Orange Crush" look.
Detroit Lions: One Pride Collection
In Detroit, the Lions have rolled out the "One Pride" collection. This update features refined "Honolulu Blue" colors for their home uniforms, "Detroit"-branded white road jerseys, and dramatic "Motor City" black-and-blue alternates. The adjustments provide a modern twist while staying true to the city’s rich football tradition.
Houston Texans: H-Town Made Collection
The Houston Texans are also hopping on the redesign bandwagon with their "H-Town Made" collection. The Texans' new look is characterized by modernized number fonts, an eye-catching all-red candy-paint combo, and a fresh "H-Town" alternate, which brings a cool, icy-blue color scheme into play.
New York Jets: Legacy Collection
The New York Jets are making a bold move by adopting their 2023 throwback uniforms as their new regular attire. Dubbed the "Legacy Collection," these uniforms include classic designs that resonate deeply with loyal Jets fans. Key features include white pants, white jerseys, and an old Jets logo, all brought together in what's called "The Classic" throwback.
Jacksonville Jaguars: Prowler Throwbacks
As the Jacksonville Jaguars celebrate their 30th season, they are debuting the "Prowler Throwbacks." These uniforms pay homage to the team's 1995 expansion look, providing a nostalgic trip back to their inaugural moments. In addition to this, the Jaguars will also debut a new "Shell White" alternate helmet, adding a fresh yet retro twist to their on-field appearance.
Minnesota Vikings: Winter Warrior
The Minnesota Vikings are embracing a chilly theme with their "Winter Warrior" look. This new uniform configuration involves sleek, white-on-white uniforms accented with metallic gray, and is completed with white helmets. The ensemble encapsulates the harsh yet captivating winters of Minnesota, bringing that icy edge to their aesthetic.
New York Giants: Century Red
The New York Giants are marking their historic 100th season with the introduction of the "Century Red" getup. These new uniforms feature tan pants, striped red jerseys, red, white, and blue socks, and a winged helmet. This classic yet modern look is a fitting tribute to the century-long journey of one of the NFL's cornerstone teams.
Baltimore Ravens and Cleveland Browns
The Baltimore Ravens are offering fans a dazzling new "Purple Rising" helmet that stands out with a front-facing logo, metallic purple paint, and a gold facemask. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Browns have decided to swap their traditional brown facemasks for white ones—a nod to the team’s history, as white facemasks were previously used during the 1975-1995 and 1999-2005 periods.
Green Bay Packers and Washington Commanders
Not to be left out, the Green Bay Packers are switching things up with a new alternate helmet featuring a striking white shell and white facemasks. The Washington Commanders are reaching into their past as well, bringing back gold pants last seen in 2018 and commonly used from 1937-1978.
It’s clear that the 2024 NFL season is not just about the game; it’s also about the sartorial statements being made on the field. From nostalgic throwbacks to bold new colors, teams are ensuring they make a splash as soon as they step onto the gridiron. Fans can look forward to not just the action but the aesthetics, as every uniform tells a story and every design holds a piece of the team’s heritage.
