Patriots debut Nor’easter NFL Rivalries Uniforms Thursday night vs. Jets

FOXBORO — The Patriots will debut their Nor’easter NFL Rivalries Uniforms on Thursday night against the Jets. It’s an entirely new helmet, uniform and “storm blue” color scheme for the Patriots. Here’s more on the design from Mike Dussault of Patriots.com: • “Six stars on the uniform represent the six New England states.” • “A new ‘NE’ shoulder logo, inspired by nautical lettering and compass points, underscores the unique nature of the Patriots as the only team to represent an entire region.” • “Jersey numbers pull their vertical striping and mesh-like design from the iconic 1990s Patriots uniform, evoking memories of Bledsoe-era battles.” • “Shoulder and pant stripes carry a subtle netting pattern, an homage to the working harbors that define the New England coast.” • “The matte white helmet reminds us of snow; the metallic silver facemask reflects the icy cold that defines the region’s winters.” • “Small pops of red offer a quiet connection back to the team’s traditional color palette.” • “Inside every collar, a reminder that through every storm, We Are All Patriots.”
