ExtremeRavens Posted August 29 Posted August 29 The Ravens will make history on Nov. 7 when they take the field for their Week 10 “Thursday Night Football” showdown against the AFC North rival Cincinnati Bengals at M&T Bank Stadium. That’s when they will debut a “Purple Rising” helmet, marking the first time in team history that they will wear a helmet that is not black. The alternate helmet is primarily purple, with gold stripes down the middle and the team’s alternate bird head logo outlined in gold. The rest of the uniform will feature Baltimore’s alternate purple jersey and pants combination, last worn in 2022 in a home loss to the Los Angeles Rams. “The reaction to our Purple Rising helmet launch from both players and fans was extremely positive,” Ravens senior vice president of marketing Brad Downs said in a statement. “We can’t wait to debut it in front of a national audience and huge Baltimore crowd this November.” It’s also not the only alternate look the Ravens will display this season. In a Week 4 game against the Buffalo Bills at M&T Bank Stadium on “Sunday Night Football,” Baltimore will wear its all-black uniforms as part of its “Darkness Falls” campaign. Guests of the game in addition to being encouraged to wear all black will receive light-up wristbands that correspond to the night’s entertainment. Last season, the Ravens wore all black in their Week 11 win at home over the Bengals on “Thursday Night Football.” “Sexy,” was how Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson described the all-black look ahead of the game last season. “That’s a sexy color. I like the color.” Outside linebacker Roquan Smith also liked what he saw. “I think of just physical, death row-type defense,” he said. “That’s what I think of when I see black. It’s more of like, ‘OK, show me what you’re about, because, if not, I’m going to show you.’” The Ravens went on to win the game but lost tight end Mark Andrews to an ankle injury in the process.
