Continuing the theme after the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins and Las Vegas Raiders wore throwback uniforms on Thanksgiving or Black Friday, the New England Patriots will don their “Pat Patriot” throwback uniforms when they take on the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday afternoon.
The Patriots are 2-3 in the throwback threads – which feature white helmets with a vintage logo on the sides, red jerseys with white and blue UCLA stripes on the shoulders and white pants with matching stripes – since they returned in 2022, including a 41-21 loss to the Houston Texans on Oct. 13.
Elsewhere, the Washington Commanders and New York Jets will wear their all-black alternate uniforms when they take on the Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks, respectively. This marks the second appearance for both uniforms this season, joining the Commanders’ 18-15 win over the Chicago Bears on Oct. 27 and the Jets’ 21-13 win over the Texans on Oct. 31.
With the win, Washington improved to 2-5 in their black alternate uniforms, which were introduced as part of the franchise’s rebrand in 2022, while New York moved to 2-3 since the team add a black alternate helmet to their black alternate uniforms that same season. They’re 1-0 in the current rendition, though, after unveiling a new Legacy-inspired set this offseason.
Meanwhile, the Carolina Panthers continue to test out new uniform combinations this season, this time opting for silver helmets, black jerseys and Process blue pants when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon. The Panthers have previously only worn the Process blue pants with their road white or Process blue alternate jerseys.
Carolina is 0-2 in Process blue pants – which were added to the rotation in 2015 – this season, pairing them with black alternate helmets and Process blue jerseys in a 38-20 loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Oct. 13 and with silver helmets and white jerseys in a 40-7 loss to the Commanders the following weekend.
Finally, the weekend wraps up with the Denver Broncos wearing their updated “Snowcapped” white alternate helmets alongside their new blue alternate jerseys for the first time when they take on the Cleveland Browns on Monday Night Football. It’s unclear at this time what color pants they’ll wear, however.
It will mark the only appearance for the white helmets and blue jerseys – which were introduced this offseason as part of a uniform redesign – this year, as the Broncos wore their “Orange Crush” throwback uniforms in a 34-18 win over the Raiders on Oct. 13 and are scheduled to wear them again against the Kansas City Chiefs on Jan. 5.
