The NFL is set to play its fifth and final international game of the 2024-25 season on Sunday morning when the Carolina Panthers take on the New York Giants in Munich, Germany.
The Panthers will mark the occasion by wearing a new uniform combination, which includes pairing their black alternate helmets with Process blue alternate jerseys, black pants and black socks for the first time in franchise history.
Carolina initially wore the black helmets with its black home jerseys, pants and socks for wins over the Atlanta Falcons in 2022 and 2023 after designating that look as its Color Rush set.
But the Panthers broke from that trend earlier this season when they wore their black helmets with Process blue jerseys, Process blue pants and black socks during a loss to the Falcons on Oct. 13.
Elsewhere, the Jacksonville Jaguars will debut their new “Shell White” alternate helmets when they host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday afternoon, pairing them with their black alternate jerseys and white pants.
The matte white helmets are the fourth different shell color in franchise history, joining a black base from 1995-2008 and 2018-present, a black helmet with teal flakes from 2009-12 and a black-to-gold gradient design from 2013-17.
Meanwhile, the New England Patriots have decided to wear silver pants with their white road jerseys during Sunday’s game at the Chicago Bears, marking the second time we’ll see that combination this season.
This was actually the Patriots’ standard road look from 1993-99 but never made an appearance with the uniforms that are synonymous with their six Super Bowl titles or their current set until last month’s loss to the Jaguars in London.
The Dallas Cowboys will once again celebrate Veterans Day by modifying their standard silver helmets to include a red, white and blue striping pattern down the center during Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
This design was originally worn by the Cowboys during the 1976 season as part of American’s bicentennial but has been worn the weekend prior to Veterans Day every season since 2021, with Dallas going 2-1 in those contests.
Lastly, the Houston Texans will finally debut their new “Battle Red” alternate uniforms – which feature horns on the helmets and sleeves – against the Detroit Lions on Sunday Night Football.
The Texans have worn all-red uniforms just once in franchise history, as they fell to the Jaguars at home last season after adding a red alternate helmet to the rotation in 2022. They’ll also have a matching end zone design on Sunday.
