In what is likely the biggest uniform announcement since the introduction of Color Rush a decade ago, the NFL will introduce new uniforms beginning in the 2025 season that will be inspired by the local communities of the NFL teams.
The concept, dubbed the “Rivalries” program by the NFL and apparel sponsor Nike, will be similar to what Major League Baseball and the NBA have done in recent years. The NFL announced this new concept, which will roll out over a four-year span, during the second round of Friday night’s NFL Draft.
“The NFL is home to some of the biggest rivalries in football,” Renie Anderson, the NFL’s EVP and chief revenue officer, told CBS Sports on Friday ahead of the announcement. “We decided to team up with Nike to allow fans and players to connect like never before with the Rivalries program because nothing brings communities together quite like a good rivalry. We know our fans and players are excited for games with their club’s biggest rivals and wanted to make these even bigger. And we know our fans (especially our younger fans) and players get excited when their clubs wear unique and or special uniforms.
Visuals of the jerseys are not yet available, though they are expected to be unveiled at some point in the summer ahead of the 2025 season. The first batch of teams to get these jerseys will hail from the AFC East and NFC West: the Bills, Dolphins, Patriots, Jets, Seahawks, Cardinals, Rams and 49ers will have “Rivalries” jerseys in 2025.
In 2026, the AFC South and NFC North will debut their threads. The NFC East and AFC West will follow in 2027, and the AFC North and NFC South will round it out in 2028.
Here’s how it will work: Each team will be required to wear the jerseys for one home game against a divisional rival each year over a three-year period. Teams can choose to wear the jersey each year against the same divisional rival or across the division. And because the jerseys must be worn in home games, there wouldn’t be a game featuring both teams wearing the jerseys.
“The four-year rollout was designed to build the program out over time and highlight the unique rivalries individually, rather than doing it all at once. This will also build anticipation over time,” Anderson said.
The current alternates, including throwback uniforms, can and will remain in each team’s rotation. Earlier this month, the NFL expanded the use of alternate and throwback outfits for up to four times in the regular season.
Nike and the NBA introduced the concept of City Edition jerseys in the 2017-18 season. Opinions have varied on the jerseys over the years, but the concept has been successful enough to continue for the better part of a decade.
In 2021, Major League Baseball and Nike announced a similar concept with the City Connect jerseys. That launch also did about a quarter of the league each year, reaching 28 of the 30 teams by the fourth season. Only the Athletics (a team with no city) and the Yankees (tradition) don’t have these alternate jerseys.
With the NFL having a four-year rollout with “Rivalries,” and because teams will wear the uniforms for three years, the uniform program will continue through at least the 2030 season.

Denílson vê torcida sem paciência no Brasil: “Vaiam com 10 minutos”
Denílson, em discurso no Fechamento SporTV (Reprodução) Denílson, em análise envolvendo o Vasco, quis destacar uma situação atrelada à torcida do clube. Levando em conta que o último título de peso ocorreu em 2011, o ex-jogador vê os cruz-maltinos cada vez mais “calejados” com o clube. Neste cenário, embora o apoio em São Januário seja constante, Fábio Carille, demitido pela diretoria, sentiu de perto a forte pressão pela falta de um desempenho satisfatório. “O torcedor está desgastado com o Vasco. Eles são apaixonados e querem ver o clube jogando sempre bem. Eu não tô errado na minha leitura em relação ao sentimento do torcedor vascaíno, né? Eu assistindo de casa, o time é vaiado pelos torcedores no aquecimento.”, disse Denílson, no Fechamento SporTV.

Hradec přetáhl z Liberce kanadského obránce Melancona
„T.J. patří mezi prověřené a velmi kvalitní ofenzívní extraligové obránce a jsme přesvědčeni, že nám pomůže nahradit odcházející obránce a zlepšit produktivitu našeho mužstva, zejména v přesilových hrách. Jsme rádi, že i přes více extraligových nabídek si vybral právě náš klub,“ uvedl pro web Mountfieldu generální manažer Aleš Kmoníček.Melanconův bodový výkaz je velmi podobný s tím, který měl jeho krajan Blain. Jenže 33letý Blain letos vinou zranění odehrál jen devět zápasů a s Mountfieldem se rozloučil. Ani Melancon letošní ročník neodehrál kompletní, je ale o pět let mladší a ve 42 zápasech zaznamenal slušných 25 bodů (4+19).„Je v nejlepším hokejovém věku, skvěle zapadne do našeho herního systému. Věřím, že pomůže zlepšit produktivitu týmu, a to nejen na přesilovce,“ dodal kouč Hradce Králové Tomáš Martinec.Melancon si v extralize poprvé vyzkouší jiný celek než Liberec. Rodák z kanadské Oshawy předtím působil v Nových Zámcích na Slovensku, kam se přesunul z Ameriky. Za oceánem to dotáhl nejdál do AHL, kde […]
Uspěla na pekle severu, nyní chce Italka ovládnout orlovskou Gracii
Pro 26letou cyklistku bude závod Gracia Orlová, jenž startuje 1. května v Orlové na Karvinsku a po pěti etapách na stejném místě o čtyři dny později i skončí, prvním etapovým závodem letošní sezony. Na sever Moravy cestuje po senzačním druhém místě v závodě pro svou značnou obtížnost zvaném Peklo severu. Borghesiová z týmu EF Education-Oatly zaostala na francouzských silnicích za vítěznou Pauline Ferrandovou-Prévotovou o necelou minutu.„Klasika Paříž–Roubaix byla mým hlavním cílem sezony. Ten závod miluju a bylo neuvěřitelné stát na stupních vítězů. Je to brutální závod, jede se naplno od startu až do cíle, ale právě to mám ráda. Jsem moc šťastná, že jsem dokázala zaútočit v závěru a vydržela až do cíle,“ vrátila se k populárnímu jarnímu monumentu Borghesiová.České silnice, na nichž hned v úvodní etapě do Štramberka okusí i české dlažební kostky, otestuje poprvé v kariéře. „Slyšela jsem, že Gracia je to opravdu krásný závod, který nabízí různorodé profily etap, časovku a také nádhernou […]
Damian Lillard injury update: Bucks star diagnosed with torn left Achilles tendon suffered during playoff game
Getty Images Milwaukee Bucks star Damian Lillard has torn his left Achilles tendon, the team announced Monday. It's news that the Bucks feared would be confirmed after an MRI Monday, and now the sobering reality has set in. Lillard will miss the rest of the playoffs for the Bucks, and will likely also miss a good chunk -- if not all -- of next season rehabbing from the injury.The injury occurred just six minutes into the first quarter of Game 3 on Sunday. Lillard was attempting to corral an offensive rebound off a missed Gary Trent Jr. 3-pointer, but as he tried to accelerate, the All-Star guard crumpled to the ground, visibly in pain. Play continued as Lillard sat at the 3-point line, and as Kyle Kuzma tried to help him off the floor at the next dead ball, Lillard […]
