The NFL’s latest fashion statement has arrived.
Eight teams across the AFC East and NFC West officially unveiled their new Nike “Rivalries” uniforms Thursday, the league’s newest alternate look built to reflect the cities, fan bases, and cultural identities each team calls home.
Designed as part of a multiyear rollout, with eight more teams added annually through 2028, the Rivalries collection is being compared to the NBA’s “City Edition” and MLB’s “City Connect” uniform programs.
Each team will wear its new look once a season, at home, during a rivalry game.
Team-by-team look: NFL Rivalries uniforms
Buffalo Bills
“Cold Front,” an icy, red‑free uniform with raised icicle logos and silver-and-blue accents.
New England Patriots
“Nor’easter,” a deep storm‑blue with six stars representing New England states, maritime lettering, and subtle red nods to team history.
New York Jets
“Gotham City Football,” a gritty, steamy smoky-green look with noir-tinted Gotham-style color filters, black and iron-ore accents, and textured details referencing New York City sidewalks and streetscape.
Miami Dolphins
“Dark Waters,” a dark navy-black base with bright aqua and orange accents for a sleek, sea‑inspired look.
San Francisco 49ers
“Saloon,” an all-black look featuring a midnight-black helmet with red stripes and a gold facemask, Saloon-style red numbers outlined in gold, and a stitched “Faithful” script beneath the front collar honoring their fans.
Seattle Seahawks
“Volume 12,” a wolf-grey and iridescent green uniform that features a metallic-chrome helmet and embedded “12” patterns honoring the 12s and Lumen Field’s deafening soundwave legacy.
Los Angeles Rams
“Midnight Mode,” a near‑black matte uniform subtly lit with royal blue accents.
Arizona Cardinals
“Built to last,” a sandstorm‑inspired design evoking the region’s desert strength and resilience.
What are NFL Rivalries uniforms?
While not traditional throwbacks or Color Rush alternates, Rivalries uniforms are expected to remain part of each team’s wardrobe for at least the next four seasons. They feature completely new uniform and helmet combinations, with visual nods to team history, geography, and regional flair.
Nike and the NFL said the designs are “rooted extensively in local community insights,” aiming to embody each city’s history, culture, and identity.
Each of the 2025 Rivalries uniforms will debut during a division rivalry game, with eight more teams joining the program in 2026, 2027, and 2028.
