The Baltimore Ravens unveiled new home, road and alternate uniforms on Thursday evening, marking the first update to their primary look since the 2000 season, though they’re more so an evolution of their previous look than a full redesign.
The purple home, white road, black alternate and purple alternate jerseys all feature a simplified number font, as they no longer include a drop shadow or gold accents, though gold is still a focal point of the purple alternate design.

There aren’t any changes to the Ravens’ primary logo, which still appears on the sides of their black primary helmets, along with their familiar “talon” stripes that have been prominently featured on their shells since the franchise’s inception.
A “Ravens” wordmark is displayed across the chest of the purple home, black alternate and purple alternate jerseys, while “Baltimore” appears in that same spot on the white road design. It’s the first time the city name has appeared on any of their uniforms.
The biggest change to Baltimore’s look is the addition of subtle iridescent accents on the outline of the numbers and the feather-like design on the collar, as it the feathers of a raven appear black from a distance but reveal shades of purple, blue and green in the light.
This detail can be also be seen on the secondary shield logo on the black alternate jersey, while the purple home and white road designs continue to display the full-color version. A new purple and gold version is on the sleeves of the purple alternate jersey, as well.
This, of course, brings to mind the Seattle Seahawks’ “Rivalries” uniforms that debuted last season, as they featured iridescent helmets, as well as matching numbers and sound wave effects on the shoulders and down the sides of the pants.
The design is actually pulled from the team’s original logo set, which appeared on their helmets and sleeves from 1996-98 or ’99. The inside of the collar, meanwhile, has “Play Like A Raven” (home and road), “Darkness There And Nothing More” (black alternate) and “Purple Rising” (purple alternate), while the outside has the city or nickname, opposite of the chest.
The purple alternate uniforms are effectively an update to their Color Rush uniforms, though the “Purple Rising” helmets now include the Ravens’ primary logo on the sides instead of their front-facing logo. They also feature a new pants stripe inspired by the Baltimore and Maryland flags.
This unique striping pattern also features an iridescent sheen and is featured on Baltimore’s new black, white and purple pants options, though it’s black instead of gold on the primary purple pants and gold on the alternate pants.
The Ravens also introduced a new black alternate helmet, which will be worn with the black alternate uniforms, though it could be used to create other combinations after the NFL relaxed the rules last season for team to mix and match alternate helmets with home and road jerseys.
The matte black helmets have a black facemask display the Ravens’ front-facing logo on the sides, though – like the “talon” stripes – is also black. The logo will likely be difficult to see from a distance, aside from the bright red eyes.
