ExtremeRavens Posted Thursday at 07:24 PM Posted Thursday at 07:24 PM Fans clamoring for a new Ravens uniform can mark their calendars. Nike and the NFL announced a uniform and fan gear program called “Rivalries” that will debut this season. The uniforms will be worn during a single home game against a division rival and will be included in the team’s lineup for three years after introduction. The program is similar to the concept of “City Connect” uniforms in MLB, with “designs rooted extensively in local community insights,” the NFL said in a news release. The first wave begins in 2025 with teams from the AFC East (Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots and New York Jets) and NFC West (Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks). Teams from the AFC South and NFC North will debut their Rivalries uniforms in 2026, followed by NFC East and AFC West teams in 2027 and teams from the AFC North and NFC South in 2028. So Baltimore, along with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals, will be one of the last teams to join the party.

The team plans to wear those again at some point this upcoming season, likely during another home prime-time game. The 2025 NFL schedule will be unveiled on May 14. “Players were excited about them, fans loved it and we won, which also matters when you roll these things out,” said team president Sashi Brown, who noted at the league’s owners meetings last month that Baltimore’s regular home and away jerseys will not be changing anytime soon. “We feel like we have really classic jerseys, and I think the team did a great job when we’ve had some minor modifications,” Brown said. “We’re really cautious about making changes, something that we think really works well.” Have a news tip?
